Dr Helen Millman

About me:

Born and raised in Devon, Helen is a glaciologist and ice sheet modeller who is working to protect the polar regions. As the Hoffmann Fellow for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, she works with the World Economic Forum, the University of Exeter Business School, and Arctic Basecamp to foster cooperation between society, science and technology in support of the poles in crisis.

Helen has conducted fieldwork in both the Arctic and Antarctic, as well as other icy parts of the world. She has a PhD in climate science from UNSW, Sydney, and her thesis focused on Antarctica’s contribution to sea level rise during the Last Interglacial.

Before joining Exeter, Helen was Antarctica Director at the International Cryosphere Climate Initiative. She has advocated for the polar regions at the UNFCCC COPs and the XLIV Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting.
