Dr. K.M. (Karen) Simon

Profile

I received my PhD in geophysics/geodynamics from the University of Victoria (Victoria, Canada) and my MSc from Dalhousie University (Halifax, Canada). Since then, I have worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Geoscience and Remote Sensing Department at TU Delft, and at NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research.

Research

Research themes: glacial isostatic adjustment, sea-level change (Holocene and present-day), solid Earth deformation
