Earth system modeller investigating climate dynamics in high northern latitudes and the critical feedbacks associated with permafrost. Working on development of experimental protocol in the TIPMIP framework for permafrost domain.
Highlights
The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology covered my recent publication showing how permafrost thaw contributes additional carbon emissions and reduces the remaining carbon budget compatible with climate targets. (English, German, original article)
The MOMENT project at the University of Hamburg published an interview with me discussing our recent work on permafrost dynamics, the scientific challenges involved, and what our findings mean for understanding Arctic change. (Interview, English only)
Deutschlandfunk aired a short expert exchange featuring me and two colleagues, where we discussed how permafrost thaw is modeled and what our findings imply for future greenhouse‑gas emissions. (German only)
