Overview

Chris R. Stokes is a researcher affiliated with Durham University in the United Kingdom, specializing in Earth and Planetary Sciences. Their work encompasses a broad range of topics within this field, with a notable focus on cryospheric studies and observations, geology and paleoclimatology research, as well as climate change and permafrost. The subfields of their research include atmospheric science, pulmonary and respiratory medicine, management, monitoring, policy and law, anthropology, and social psychology.

Stokes has contributed to several peer-reviewed papers, including:

  • Response of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet to past and future climate change, 2022, Nature
  • An updated radiocarbon-based ice margin chronology for the last deglaciation of the North American Ice Sheet Complex, 2020, Quaternary Science Reviews
  • The deglaciation of the Americas during the Last Glacial Termination, 2020, Earth-Science Reviews
  • Evolution of the Laurentide and Innuitian ice sheets prior to the Last Glacial Maximum (115 ka to 25 ka), 2021, Earth-Science Reviews
  • Distribution and seasonal evolution of supraglacial lakes on Shackleton Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, 2020, The Cryosphere

The frequent co-authors with whom Stokes has collaborated include Stewart S. R. Jamieson, Bertie W. J. Miles, G. Hilmar Gudmundsson, Adrian Jenkins, and J.R. Jordan. These collaborations reflect a network of expertise in glaciology and related atmospheric and geological sciences.

Stokes's research has been published across a range of venues, notably including The Cryosphere, Journal of Glaciology, Earth-Science Reviews, Nature Communications, and Scientific Reports. This spread of venues illustrates engagement with both specialized and interdisciplinary journals in the Earth sciences community.

The main areas of Stokes's published research topics are:

  • Cryospheric studies and observations
  • Geology and paleoclimatology research
  • Winter sports injuries and performance
  • Climate change and permafrost
  • Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics
  • Landslides and related hazards
  • Pleistocene-Era hominins and archaeology

Within their scientific pursuits, the emphasis on understanding ice sheet dynamics and deglaciation plays a prominent role, contributing to knowledge about both past climate events and future environmental scenarios. Their research engages with the physical processes influencing ice sheets in polar regions and their responses to climatic variables.
