My background is cryosphere and hydrosphere physics and meteorology. My special interests are in atmospheric boundary layer physics and my work in SVALI is strongly related to the coupling between glaciers and atmosphere. The main focus of my studies is in investigating the connections between weather and climate conditions and the surface energy and mass balance of glaciated areas. My current research activities consist of simulating the effects of temperature and precipitation forcing on Midtre Lovébreen, Svalbard, using the Elmer glacier model and weather observations. I am also involved in a study that investigates the factors controlling inter-annual variability and trends in surface melt over Greenland using reanalysed products and satellite observations. Our aim is to provide more detailed information of the relationship between weather or climate and state of the glaciated areas and promote the connections between atmospheric and cryospheric research.
