Graham Rush
PhD Student and Associate Lecturer
Profile
Biography
Graham is a PhD student interested in the flux of water between the cryosphere and oceans and its role within global oceanic circulation and the climate system.
Upon leaving school Graham became a Professional Footballer, travelled widely and worked in the building trade which eventually took him to the BAS Antarctic Research Station, Halley. These experiences lead to a fascination in the world around him. Graham returned to education to satisfy this interest and discovered an aptitude and passion for research while studying towards a Geography BSc and Ecology MSc at the University of Gloucestershire.
Graham now uses sea-level reconstructions to understand the magnitude, timing and geography of the change in his research. He combines this with his teaching interests, working as an Associate Lecturer.
