Dr Levan Tielidze completed his PhD at the Antarctic Research Centre, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. He uses remote sensing and in situ methods to study modern glaciers in linkage to ongoing climate change. His research interests also include reconstructing the dynamics of past glaciers through the tools of glacial geomorphology and cosmogenic nuclide dating. In particular, he is interested in the deglaciation dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheets, the Southern Alps of New Zealand, and the Caucasus Mountains during the Late Quaternary. In the Monash EAE team, Dr Tielidze will be working with Prof Andrew Mackintosh and Dr Richard Selwyn Jones as a part of the 'Monash Ice Sheet Initiative' and 'Securing Antarctica’s Environmental Future' (SAEF) to better understand the response of the Antarctic ice sheets to past and ongoing climate change.
