Dynamics of Glaciers and Ice Sheets

Our research topics are dynamic, thermodynamic and hydraulic processes in glaciers and ice sheets. We combine state-of-the-art field methods, numerical models, data analysis tools and theoretical reasoning to investigate topics ranging from iceberg calving on Arctic tidewater glaciers, sliding processes under the Greenland ice sheet, long-term reaction of Alpine glaciers to climate, glacier thermodynamics, and karst system hydraulics.
