My research focusses on processes related to the mountain cryosphere - glaciers, permafrost, and snow - and how they are connected to climate and weather. I enjoy the puzzle of combining remote sensing data, in situ observations, and (sometimes) models to get a bigger picture. Below is a selection of my research topics grouped by general themes. The bullet points are links with additional information and related publications.

Mountain cryosphere

• Ice albedo: Is it changing? if so, why? how can we measure it? does it matter?

  Current main project (FWF ESPRIT grant)

• Rock glacier kinematics: what is Hochebenkar (AT) rock glacier doing?

  Phd work remained side interest

• Melting glaciers: Measuring & putting local data into regional context

Various contributions related to glacier change in Austria and other regions, ongoing

Cold regions meteorology and climatology

• Ice fog (contributions to ACRC/UAF project)

• Denali weather (postdoc work ACRC/UAF; data rescue, synoptic patterns)

• Snow (contributions to projects about snow density and climatological trends)
