One of the great revolutions of the last decade in Earth Sciences has been our ability to observe the Earth deform over timescales from seconds to decades. For the first time in history we have access to a global surface displacement field.

The field of geodesy – the study of Earth’s changing shape, rotation and gravity field – is at the heart of this revolution. We now have data from more than 15,000 Global Navigation Satellite Systems receivers (such as GPS) that are connected to bedrock. These data can be analysed to estimate millimetre or even sub-millimetre displacements of the Earth.

Through these exciting observations we can watch Earth ‘breathe’ as it changes shape in response to water and ice moving around its surface, and earthquakes, and gravitational forces from the Sun and Moon.

Knowing how the Earth changes shape – and importantly, why – is a key to understanding and quantifying the past and future of sea-level rise globally and changes in the great ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland.

My team and I are interested in the how and why of Earth’s changing shape. We study deformation due to past and present ice sheet change, earthquakes and tides. We model these using viscoelastic models of the Earth and are increasingly interested in transient anelastic deformations. We’re also interested in vertical land motion, sea-level change and improving GNSS analysis. I’ve listed some of our recent research highlights below.

I’ve been blessed to work with some wonderful early (and senior!) career researchers from many countries, including a great group of PhD students and postdocs. We work in a collaborative way to try and tackle problems that are of importance to populations globally. Our work covers making original observations (such as in Antarctica), analysis of observations, and building models to explain these.

Matt King - 2015

PhD: If you would like to join my team to study a PhD I am keen to talk with you. You would need a good background in maths, physics, quantitative Earth sciences/geophysics, engineering or geodesy and an excellent academic background with evidence of past research. Success in an Australian PhD program will also require very good English language skills (IELTS >=7.0).

Topics of interest broadly are:

Solid Earth response to glacier melt, including present-day and glacial-isostatic adjustment
Analysis and interpretation of new GNSS or InSAR datasets from Antarctica
Understanding what GNSS/GPS data tell us and the separation of geophysical signal and noise
Finite-element modelling of Earth deformation including three-dimensional Earth structure and elastic, anelastic and viscous processes
Vertical land motion for sea-level studies
Ice sheet change and glacier dynamics

Research Fellowships: If you’ve finished your PhD and now working on a postdoc then we may be able to work together to submit a fellowship application to Australian or overseas funders.

Selected Research Highlights

1. Post-seismic subsidence of Australia following Great Earthquakes

This work has been undertaken by Anna Riddell during her PhD. Her careful GNSS analysis suggests that Australia is not just experiencing horizontal post-seismic deformation but also substantial – up to mm/yr – deformation in the vertical. The signal is particularly striking following the Sumatran earthquakes. The Figure below shows a selection of sites thousands of km from the earthquake.

Change in horizontal or vertical displacement 4000+km away in Western Australia following the series of Sumatran earthquakes. Modified from Riddell et al. in revision.

2. Rapid viscoelastic deformation in the Antarctic Peninsula due to recent ice melt

In 2014 Grace Nield led the publication of some of her PhD research that showed that, using a combination of GPS time series and simple viscoelastic modelling, the upper mantle in the region of the northern Antarctic Peninsula (Nield et al., 2014). Note from the figure below that modelled total deformation reaches 40mm/yr!

We’ve built on Grace’s work with further work by subsequent PhD students (Zhao et al., 2017; Samrat et al. 2020) for the Antarctic Peninsula which have confirmed these results but also suggested regional variation in the upper mantle viscosity. We have since deployed further GPS sites in this region to better capture these signals as they evolve over time.

3. Anelastic deformation of New Zealand at tidal timescales

Since around 2004 I have had interest in the tidal deformation of the Earth, either validating models of ocean tide loading and recently returning to this theme to study the solid Earth. Recently PhD student Bogdan Matvichuuk showed strong evidence for both anelasticity at the M2 tidal period (12.42h) and the need for considering 3d variations in Earth structure and rheology to explain them.

Panels show phasor plots of GPS estimates of the deformation of the north island of New Zealand at the M2 period. The GPS observations have had one of two models removed, reflecting elastic only (left) or anelastic (right) deformations. Source: Matvichuuk et al in prep.

4. Building a new global spherical finite-element model of post-seismic deformation

Grace Nield and I have been collaborating on taking a global spherical FEM used for studies of deformation due to ice-ocean loading change. The model is capable of linear Maxwell, bi-viscous Burgers and power-law rheological parameterisations. Grace has now extended this model to include post-seismic deformation and benchmarked against other codes. This provides the opportunity for a globally self-consistent model for solid Earth deformations for earthquakes and glacial loading.

Research Themes

My career research is aligned with the world-leading strengths of the University of Tasmania in Antarctic and Earth Sciences research. Geodetic and geophysical research at the University excels through its location at the edge of the Southern Ocean and Antarctica, sitting at a unique and essential vantage-point to observe and understanding our planet. Our geodesy research underpins global understanding of sea-level change, quantifying the changing Antarctic Ice Sheet, enabling precise-positioning globally, and fundamentally defining the properties of the solid Earth.

For more than 50 years the University has undertaken high-profile, internationally-leading research in the broad field of Earth Sciences– and in recent decades the University has invested in and grown the areas of Geodesy and Geophysics. Consequently, in the last two Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) assessments, University of Tasmania was ranked top or equal-top in the nation in both Geophysics and Geomatic Engineering (which includes Geodesy). In the most recent ERA round, our research in these domains was ranked “Well Above World Standard”, the top ranking. Within the QS Subject rankings 2020, University of Tasmania is ranked in the top-50 universities globally in Geophysics.

Through $13M AuScope funding, the University built and now operates the only University-owned continental scale array of radio telescopes in the world, underpinning Australia’s geodetic and positioning infrastructure. For decades it has operated the Southern Hemisphere’s only satellite altimeter sea-level calibration facility, recently funded by $3.2M from IMOS.

Collaboration

I collaborate widely to tackle problems of wide societal and scientific importance. To illustrate this, over 2010-2019 I co-authored with 280 co-authors from 26 countries across 79 publications. From 2021 I will lead the new Australian Centre of Excellence in Antarctic Science, which has 39 named investigators from Australian universities with dozens more at universities elsewhere and Australian government agencies.

Awards

Prizes: The Royal Society of London awarded me the 2015 Kavli Medal and Lecture, recognising my career research to that point. This medal and public lecture is awarded to a mid-career researcher working in Energy and Environment from across the Commonwealth. In 2017 I was awarded the Australian Academy of Sciences Mawson Medal and Lecture, a career medal in Earth Sciences, for my research.

I have also been awarded:

A Philip Leverhulme Prize by the Leverhulme Trust (2012) for “achievement of outstanding researchers whose work has already attracted international recognition and whose future career is exceptionally promising”;
The British Geophysical Association's 2012 Bullerwell Lecture “bestowed on an individual for significant contribution to the field of geophysics”;
The American Geophysical Union Geodesy Section Prize (2012) for “outstanding contributions to geodesy”
The University of Tasmania’s Vice Chancellor’s Award for Internationally Recognised Research (2015);
The 2016 Royal Society of Tasmania M R Banks Medal (a mid-career medal for any field of research);

I was elected as Fellow of the International Association of Geodesy in 2015.

Prestigious Fellowships: I have been awarded three competitive research fellowships

NERC postdoctoral fellowship (one of ~30 awarded per year; 2006-2009)
Research Councils UK Academic Fellowship (2009-2012)
ARC Future Fellowship (2012-2016)

Current projects

My current research projects focus on solid Earth deformation and ice-sheet and solid-Earth change. I am particularly interested in understanding the deformation of the Earth over hours to millennia due to changes within and on the Earth – such as glacier melt, earthquakes, and tides. I have interests in modelling these solid-Earth deformations with Finite Element Models considering elastic, anelastic and viscous deformation. For all my career I have worked on improving our understanding of systematic error within GNSS measurements.

Within Antarctica I have several projects focused on observing the three-dimensional deformation of the solid Earth due to present-day and past changes in ice-ocean mass. This includes deploying and maintaining networks of GNSS within Antarctica. These measurements, combined with other geophysical techniques and solid Earth modelling, provide unique insights into the properties of the solid Earth – notably the mantle, asthenosphere, and lithosphere.

For many years I have worked on high resolution measurements of glacier and ice-sheet change using GNSS/GPS and continue to be interested in these applications.

The largest projects I am involved with are the exciting $25M Australian Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science and the $50M Australian Antarctic Program Partnership.

Long-term monitoring of solid Earth deformation and structure in East Antarctica (2020 - 2023)$117,020

Description: The Earth beneath Antarctica is not cold and static but highly dynamic. Its changing shape results from past and present changes in the amount of ice resting on it as well as forces internal to the Earth. These are very poorly understood in Antarctica, and in East Antarctica in particular. Understanding these processes requires a detailed understanding of the interior properties of the Earth and the history of ice loading changes from 20,000 years before present until today. Alternatively, by measuring present-day deformation using GPS, and inferring the properties of the Earth from seismology, we can obtain new information on the past and present ice loading changes.This project will lengthen existing East Antarctic GPS and seismic records to allow detection of new changes in deformation patterns and to estimate Earth's interior properties and long-term deformation rates. These remain necessary for understanding Antarctica's contribution to past and present sea level change.

The Australian Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science (2020 - 2025)$22,389,928

Description: The Centre will revolutionise predictions of the future of East Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. Changes in the Antarctic will be profoundly costly to Australia, including sea-level and fisheries impacts; but the speed and scale of future change remains poorly understood. A new national-scale and interdisciplinary Centre is required to understand the complex interactions of the ocean, ice sheets, atmosphere and ecosystems that will govern Antarctica's future. The Centre will combine new field data with innovative models to address Australia's Antarctic science priorities, train graduate students, develop leaders, engage the public, and enable major economic benefit as Australia adapts to climate change in the coming years and beyond.

Rapid Deployment Seismic Recorders for Interdisciplinary Antarctic Research (2020)$500,000

Description: We aim to establish an Antarctic-based set of seismic instruments, a mobile facility, to provide data to help predict how ice sheets will evolve and how the continent under the ice sheets will respond to changes in ice load. Our approach to tackling such significant questions is innovative, and makes use of newly available, rapid deployment instruments that may be deployed in ice by a small team with light logistics. Outcomes will include maps of subice sediments and 3D images of the deep Earth. The facility will thus enable new knowledge relating to major ice sheets. Interdisciplinary use of the research will benefit Australia through an improved ability to plan for future sea level rise in areas with large coastal populations.

The role of the Southern Ocean in sea level change (2018 - 2022)$325,000

Description: Specifically, we are going to address the following key issues related to the role of the Southern Ocean in global and regional sea level changes:1.Can we quantify the amount of heat entering the Southern Ocean? 2.Can we, through perturbation experiments (with some forcing turned on or off), separate the impact of wind-induced from Antarctic fresh water-induced ocean responses, and natural versus anthropogenic forcing in sea level and ocean dynamics in the Southern Ocean? 3.Is the dipole structure of sea level change derived from coarse resolution models robust? Will eddy-resolving model give a similar dipolar structure? Are there distinct responses to strengthening vs shifting of westerlies, and if yes, are they dependent on model resolution?4.Can we use updates of observations and projections of the Antarctic Ice Sheet contribution, together with other contributions, to better understand the regional sea-level change distribution and thus to refine sea level projections?

Precision and accuracy of Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) positioning with SBAS, SBAS DFMC and PPP - Application in Precision Agriculture: Project Demonstrator 8103 (2018)$119,296

Description: This project focuses on the application of SBAS, SBAS DFMC and PPP services for the precise positioning of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and direct georeferencing of sensor data in precision agriculture applications. The UAS industry is growing rapidly with the agricultural sector being one of the fastest growing sectors adopting UAS technology. Multispectral imaging from UAS can provide new insights into fine-scale spatial variability of crop health. This information can be used by farmers and farm managers to improve efficiencies in application of water, fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides, and other inputs. This project will integrate SBAS GNSS hardware in a UAS configuration typically used in farm environments, namely a small multi-rotor UAS (<15 kg) with multispectral imaging capabilities. The project will assess the performance of SBAS GNSS positioning for typical UAS flight dynamics and will characterise the levels of noise in the GNSS solution. We will quantify the accuracy of direct georeferencing of a multispectral orthomosaic based on on-board SBAS GNSS data. The intended outcome is a low-cost and efficient positioning solution for UAS-based surveys producing ultra-high resolution imagery at high absolute accuracy with direct benefits in precision agriculture and to on-farm efficiencies.

Totten Ice Dynamics and Evolution (2018 - 2020)$146,360

Description: Global sea level fluctuations are driven by changes in the mass balance of the world's ice sheets and mountain glaciers. These fluctuations arise from either the increased discharge of ice into the oceans or through increases in snowfall over these ice masses. While satellite-derived observations of ice mass change have greatly advanced our understanding of Antarctica's contribution to global sea level, they lack ground-based constraints in many regions to fully validate the amount of ice mass change. This project will make detailed observations on the current state of Totten Glacier, East Antarctica, as well as how it has evolved over the past 50 years, through detailed ground-based measurements across the Totten Glacier catchment. These new measurements will lead to refined measurements of this outlet glacier's contribution to global sea level now and in the future.

Quantifying West Antarctic mantle viscosity via precise GPS measurement of Earth's response to surface mass balance anomalies (2018 - 2022)$1,109,630

Description: This proposal aims to quantify mantle viscosity across West Antarctica via innovative analysis of the viscoelastic response to episodic surface loading anomalies. Resolving the current uncertainty in absolute viscosity will allow us to address a fundamental weakness of the GIA models that are currently used to underpin estimates of ice sheet mass balance. Moreover it will allow us to identify low viscosity areas where hypothesized negative feedbacks may mitigate against future ice sheet grounding line retreat. While in high viscosity areas our methodology will allow us to identify regions that are undergoing dynamic ice loss. We can achieve these goals by rationalising and extending the time series of an existing regional GPS network.

Earthquake biases in measurements of Antarctica's sea-level contribution (2017 - 2019)$439,500

Description: This project aims to accurately determine Antarctica's contribution to present-day sea-level; this is currentlyuncertain and controversial (the sign of change is not agreed), with large technique-specific systematic errors.Three of four measurement techniques rely on knowing the solid earth's changing shape or gravity field. Postseismicdeformation has never been considered in such studies, but GPS data now unequivocally show thatAntarctica has been deforming since the 1998 Magnitude-8.2 Antarctic Plate Earthquake. We propose to developa state-of-the-art model of these earthquakes constrained by new and improved geodetic data and then use themodel to provide new estimates of Antarctica's contribution to sea-level change.

Gender Equity in Antarctic Research (2017)$4,915

Description: Women are underrepresented in STEMM/leadership positions worldwide (ABS 2014). Although women comprise 50% of PhDs in Natural and Physical Sciences in Australia, they comprise only 16% of senior academic leaders (SAGE 2017). Implicit biases/discrimination, gender stereotyping, family obligations, and lack of role models are all barriers to women's advancement (e.g. Roberts 2014). 60% of polar ECRs are women; yet, there is no public data on gender equity in Australian Antarctic science (Strugnell et al. 2016). Existing research primarily tracks publications/other similar metrics to measure women's STEMM participation. However, this approach risks recognising women only if they behave 'like men', ignoring disproportionate rates of sexual harassment experienced by women. Women in Antarctic research are 3.5 times more likely to experience harassment than men (Clancy et al. 2014).To fill this gap, this project uses an intersectional approach to develop a baseline understanding of the characteristics of women in Australian Antarctic research and their research experiences to inform long-term responses to gendered inequality in the field.

Insights from the past: Using the history of Antarctica to improve projections of global sea level rise (2016)$14,914

Description: The magnitude of future increases in global sea level is a question of critical societal and economic relevance. However, current projections of both short-term and long-term sea level rise are highly uncertain. For a mid-range climate scenario, for example, the most precise statement that can be made is that it is likely that global sea level will rise by between 32 and 63cm during the 21st century (Church et al., 2013). The largest single source of uncertainty is associated with the mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet. In the short-term, it cannot even be stated with certainty whether Antarctica will have a positive or negative impact on global sea level (Church et al., 2013). In the long-term, the possibility exists that melting of the coastal shelves around Antarctica will lead to an irreversible commitment towards ongoing sea level rise. However, because of limitations in our understanding of icesheet dynamics, the magnitude of this commitment could lie anywhere between 0.6 and 3m (Golledge et al., 2015). Reducing these uncertainties is critical for climate change adaptation and mitigation.Through a ground-breaking integration of data and models, this project will use the history of the Antarctic ice sheetto improve our ability to predict future changes in global sea level. Data on past climates can tell us how the Antarctic ice sheet and global sea level have evolved. We will use this data to confront the ice sheet models that are used to predict future changes. By constraining the models, we will use the Earth's climatic history to improve our understanding of the physics of the Antarctic ice sheet. This will allow us to constrain the role of Antarctica in drivingchanges in global sea level, and thus allow for improved projections of future sea level rise. The project will therefore address a question of considerable societal and economic relevance.

Quantifying sea-level trends and extremes along Australia's coastal margin (2015 - 2017)$435,500

Description: Multi-decadal changes in sea-level, and sea-level extremes, cannot be well quantified along most global coastlines, including Australia's, because the high spatial variability of sea-level is under-sampled by the sparse set of long, high quality tide gauge records. Satellite altimetry provides an alternative data source with greater spatial sampling, yet experiences contamination from land within tens of kilometres from the coast and also suffers from regionally correlated biases. Here we propose to address these problems through re-tracking radar altimetry waveforms to derive new data in the coastal margin - enabling us to produce new inferences on sea-level change and extremes at dramatically improved spatial resolution around Australia.

Earth's response to ice unloading: a unique GPS measurement from Antarctica (2015)$252,500

Description: This proposal aims to deploy geophysical equipment within Antarctica to understand how Earth responds to changes in stress (rheology) within the crust and upper mantle (the upper ~660km). It exploits a globally unique natural experiment that commenced in 2002 with the break-up of the Larsen B Ice Shelf and which was followed by large-scale ice-mass unloading and rapid surface deformation. New broadband passive seismic and geodetic deformation measurements offer the promise of resolving a dichotomy between laboratory and millennial-scale determinations of Earth rheology through uniquely studying a time-scale midway between these extremes, whilst further strengthening Australia's emerging expertise in polar geophysics.

Removing bias estimates of East Antarctica's contribution to present and past sea level changes (2015 - 2018)$148,743

Description: The large distances between tide gauges around global coastlines, including Australia's, combined with spatial variability in sea level, means that multidecadal changes in sea-level cannot be well quantified along most coastlines. An alternative data source with greater spatial sampling, satellite altimetry, experiences contamination from land within tens of km from the coast and also suffers from regionally correlated biases. Here we propose to address both problems using re-analysed (re-tracked) radar altimetry waveforms to derive new data in the coastal margin- enabling us to produce new inferences on sea-level change and extremes at dramatically improved spatial resolution around Australia.

Outlet glacier dynamics in Princess Elizabeth Land (2015)$0

Description: The proposed research aims to initiate a program of observations of East Antarctic marine-terminating outlet glaciers, focussing over a three-year period on East Ranvik and Sorsdal Glaciers near Davis Station. We plan to determine to what extent processes known to enhance ice margin sensitivity to environmental forcing in Greenland and West Antarctica are at work at these two glaciers, which are logistically appealing due to their proximity to an Australian station.

Ocean forced evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (2015)$50,365

Description: Preparing for the impacts of sea level rise needs an improved understand of the response of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to changing ocean conditions. Over the last decade it has become clear that more ocean driven melting beneath ice shelves is causing the Antarctic Ice Sheet to lose ice at an increasing rate, contributing to sea-level rise. This project will explain the role of the ocean in controlling this dynamic behavior of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. We will use state-of-the-art numerical modelling and available observations to determine the key processes that govern how the Antarctic ice flows into the oceans, together with the assessment of possible future change. This proposal will provide improved understanding of the processes controlling ice sheet and sea level and will help to provide realistic estimates of freshwater and heat transport in a global ocean context.

Improving Models of West Antarctic Glacial Isostatic Adjustment Through a New Surface Velocity Field (2011 - 2015)$816,856

Description: This project addresses the current uncertainty in the present-day contribution of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to global sea level rise. In particular, it focuses on time-variable gravity data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission which are, at present, severely limited due to inaccurate models of Antarctic glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA). This project will focus on fully exploiting a new and unique Global Positioning System (GPS) dataset recently obtained over the region. These data offer important constraints on GIA and will lead to a refined understanding of the present-day ice mass change for West Antarctica.

Research Supervision

I am always looking for new PhD students with strong background in mathematical sciences, such as engineering, mathematics, quantitative Earth sciences, or geodesy. I work with both domestic and overseas students, with all students needing a strong English background (e.g., IETLS>=7) to complete a PhD. Please get in touch if you are interested in my areas of research. I aim to give my students a well-rounded experience, recognising that their career may be in academia but more likely industry or government. I encourage all my students to publish in international peer-reviewed journals during their PhD if possible (which it is not always). A list of current and past PhD student projects is below.

Some example future topics in geodesy, solid Earth geophysics, sea level and/or ice sheets are available at: https://www.utas.edu.au/our-research/research-degrees/available-projects
