Interdisciplinary research unit Earth System Science

Our activities concentrate on the numerical modeling of ice and climate interactions. We are mainly working on 3-D thermomechanical models, which are used to simulate the ice sheets of Antarctica, Greenland, and those that covered the northern hemisphere continents during the ice ages, on time scales ranging from Tertiary ice-sheet inception to glacial-interglacial cycles and future anthropogenic warming. Other models are applied to Alpine glaciers and Arctic ice caps.

Of specific interest is a better understanding of the role and dynamics of land ice in the climate system and its consequences for global sea level. Read a feature article on my work here.

Since 2001 we also run a field programme on the Morteratsch and Pers glaciers (Engadine, Switzerland).  This project entails an annual field campaign at the end of the ablation season (usually beginning of October) to perform measurements of mass balance, flow velocity, and ice thickness. These data feed into detailed models to better understand the past, current, and future evolution of such a mountain glacier. Other glacier field work and modelling has in recent years been performed in the Caucasus (Kabardino-Balkaria, Russian Federation) and the western Tien Shan (Kyrgyzstan).
