Matt King is Professor of Polar Geodesy at the University of Tasmania, Australia, and Director of the Australian Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science (www.antarctic.org.au).
He works on solid earth geophysics and geodesy, with a particular focus on Antarctica. His work focuses on the use of geodetic tools to solve problems related to Earth geophysics, notably Earth deformation due to glacier melt, earthquakes, and tides; sea-level change; and ice-sheet mass change and variability.
He also seeks to advance the accuracy and precision of those geodetic tools (e.g., Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS/GPS), GRACE and SLR).
