About

I'm pursuing my PhD in (paleo-)climate modeling at the Climate System Research Center at the Department of Geosciences University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA >> 

Before joining the group I gained a Master of Science from the University of Bern, Switzerland at the Climatology and Meteorology Research Group >> 

I studied at the Department of Geography, Archaeology and Earth Resources, University of Exeter, UK as an Erasmus Exchange Student during my studies in Switzerland >>

My general interests mirror my past and current research projects >> 

In general

> Climate-ice sheet modeling using global & regional climate models
> Climate dynamics at monthly-seasonal to orbital timescales
> Statistical reconstructions of climate
> Proxy - model intercomparison
> Past and future climatic impacts on society & environment (risk management)

In particular (current work)

>  Cryospheric evolution of the Greenland ice sheet and other northern-hemispheric ice sheets in Plio-Pleistocene     

>  Climate variability on a regional to hemispheric scale (i.e. Greenland, Beringia)

>  Sensitivity of the climate system to internal and external forcings and the link to uni- versus bi-polar glaciation
