Ian David Bartholomew (born 8 February 1983) is an English cricketer, glaciologist and insurer.

Education

He was educated at Berkhamsted School; Christ's College, Cambridge (B.A. Geography 2002–05, M.Phil Polar Studies 2005–06) and the University of Edinburgh (Ph.D. Glaciology 2007–11),[1] his doctoral thesis "Hydrology and dynamics of a land-terminating Greenland outlet glacier" being published in 2012.[2]

Cricket

Catastrophe insurance

Bartholomew previously worked on catastrophe modelling at Risk Management Solutions (RMS), which developed a parametric insurance model for New York City after Hurricane Sandy. In 2017, Bartholomew co-founded FloodFlash, a London-based flood insurance provider which pays out on a parametric basis (if water levels exceed a pre-agreed threshold according to an installed sensor) rather than on an assessment of damages.[5]
