Jane K. Hart
Jane K Hart is a Professor of Physical Geography in the School of Geography and Environmental Science at the University of Southampton UK. She has a BSc in Physical Geography from the University of Reading and a PhD in Glaciology from the University of East Anglia. She was Lecturer in Physical Geography at the University of Manchester(1988–89). Currently, she is EGU General Secretary, President of the Quaternary Research Association (QRA) and Chair of the "Funds for Women Graduates". Jane Hart's research is in glacial sedimentology and Environmental Sensor Networks and informatics. In glacial sedimentology and glaciology, the research is concerned with the formation of till (glacial sediments), glaciotectonics and links between subglacial processes and climate change. Her research has been carried out at numerous modern day glaciers including Iceland, Greenland, Svalbard, Norway and Alaska; as well as Quaternary (Ice Age) sediments from Norfolk, Wales, Ireland, Germany, USA and New Zealand. She is particularly concerned with the quantification of subglacial processes, highlighted from her research on in situ subglacial experiments, ground penetrating radar (GPR), time –lapse cameras and UAV surveying. She has pioneered the development of Environmental Sensor Networks (wireless sensor networks) for studying/monitoring the environment, particularly in relation to glaciers
