Chen Zhao is a ARC DECRA Fellow working under the Australian Antarctic Program Partnership, Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania. She has experience in the application of computer models to ice sheet modelling and coupled ice sheet-ocean modelling; ice sheet dynamics and basal processes; marine ice sheet instability and groundling line migration; subglacial hydrology; sea-level rise projections. She led the Australian efforts in contributing to the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project for CMIP6 (ISMIP6) 2100 and 2300 Antarctic projects. Her current research interests aim to explore the sea level contributions from the Antarctic Ice Sheet in a changing ocean and assess the impact of ocean system on large ice sheets with numerical modelling.
