David Bett
Ice/Ocean Modeller
Biography
David Bett is an ice/ocean modeller specializing in ocean, ice shelf and ice sheet interactions. He has a research focus on these interactions in the Amundsen Sea Sector of Antarctica and how these might impact future sea level rise contributions from the region. He co-developed the MITgcm/WAVI synchronous coupled ocean/ice-sheet model, which was one of the world’s first successful coupled ocean/ice-sheet models.
