Research

Overview

My research focuses on understanding how glaciers respond to climate variability and change. Specifically, I investigate the coupling between atmospheric forcing, glacier dynamics, and meltwater discharge. This work combines field observations, numerical modeling, and satellite remote sensing to characterize glacier behavior across different spatial and temporal scales.

Key Research Questions

• How do glaciers respond to rapid climate changes?
• What are the feedback mechanisms between glacier melt and regional climate?
• How can we improve glacier parameterizations in large-scale climate models?

Current Projects

Alpine Glacier Monitoring – Using satellite imagery and UAV surveys to track glacier retreat in high mountain regions and assess impacts on water resources.

Subglacial Hydrology – Investigating seasonal variations in meltwater discharge and subglacial drainage system evolution using field instruments and hydrodynamic models.
