About

CV

I am a geophysicist specializing in glaciology. I use computer models and field observations to investigate the interaction between the climate and glacial systems and its social impacts in local and global scales. 

I am also interested in using multidisciplinary approches combining natural sciences, social sciences and the arts to assess the values of nature to human well-being.

Competencies

  • Glaciology
  • Hydrology
  • Other geosciences
  • human-nature relation
