a polar climate scientist passionate
about atmosphere-ice-ocean interactions and climate science communication |

Hi!
I am a trained polar climate scientist. I am particularly interested in interactions between ice and ocean and between ice and atmosphere. Also, I like to explore ways of communicating scientific research to peers and larger audiences.
I am currently working as a postdoctoral scientist at the Institut des Géosciences de l'Environnement as part of the IDEX project DEEP MELT of the University Grenoble Alpes. I am working with Nicolas Jourdain on parametrizations of melting at the base of Antarctic ice shelves, as a continuation of my previous postdoc within the H2020 PROTECT project.
After my PhD, I briefly was as a scientific coordinator for The Earth League, a voluntary international alliance of prominent scientists from world‐class research institutions, who conduct research and advise decision makers about some of the most pressing issues faced by humankind, as a consequence of climate change, depletion of natural resources, land degradation and water scarcity. The topics discussed within the Earth League were exciting so that I realized that I was more interested in being involved creatively in the scientific world than coordinating it.
Before, I conducted my PhD research on: Rethinking the relationship between the observed, simulated and real Arctic sea-ice concentration, supervised by Dirk Notz and Lars Kaleschke at the Max-Planck-Institute for Meteorology and Hamburg University. In my thesis, I looked into the Arctic sea-ice evolution in climate models (CMIP5) and developed an observation operator for the Arctic Ocean, as a new method to compare sea ice as observed by satellites and sea ice as simulated by climate models.
I find (polar) climate science and the scientific process exciting. However, I also think that more communication is necessary within the scientific community and from the scientific community to a more general public. In past years, I was involved in several initiatives promoting knowledge transfer with different formats, e.g. as chief-editor for the EGU Cryosphere Blog, as a co-developer for a role-playing game about Arctic sea-ice melting, as a member of the Twitter editorial team at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, and at the Hamburger Nacht des Wissens.
