Gina Moseley

British polar explorer revolutionizing climate research through cave ice analysis

Dr. Gina Moseley (b. 1983) leads Team ICEBONES in decoding climate history from Greenland's ice caves. Her 2021 expedition to Northeast Greenland recovered 500kg of ancient ice samples from caves never before studied, revealing 600,000-year climate data.

Innovations include:

• Developing laser scanning tech for ice cave mapping
• Discovering prehistoric pollen trapped in cave ice
• Proving medieval warming cycles through isotope analysis

Moseley's research publications have reshaped climate models, showing faster Arctic warming rates than previously estimated. The Royal Geographical Society awarded her the 2023 Cherry Kearton Medal for communicating science through extreme expeditions.
