About
Romain Millan is a leading glaciologist whose work focuses on the dynamic interactions between ice sheets, oceans, and sea-level rise. His primary research areas include Antarctic ice shelf bathymetry, sub-ice shelf cavity geometry, and the mechanisms driving glacial melt. Millan’s most significant contribution is the development of a novel, comprehensive bathymetric model of the Antarctic continental shelf and ice shelf cavities, derived from circumpolar gravity anomalies and other datasets. This work, published in 2025 and already garnering 13 citations, is critical for understanding how warm Circumpolar Deep Water intrudes onto the continental shelf, forcing ice melting and grounding line retreat. By providing a high-resolution map of the seafloor beneath floating ice shelves, Millan’s research directly informs predictions of future sea-level rise. His achievements have made him a key figure in polar science, bridging geophysics and oceanography to reveal the hidden topography that controls Antarctica’s most vulnerable glaciers.
