In July 2022, I started my PhD with Prof. Dr. Ricarda Winkelmann on short- and long-term effects of extreme events on Antarctic ice dynamics.

In my doctoral project, I want to investigate following research questions:
- In what way can extreme (climate) events affect the Antarctic Ice Sheet? What are short- and long-term effects?
- Are there critical thresholds in the frequency, intensity or duration of extreme events which, once transgressed, trigger large-scale dynamic ice loss?
My PhD project is funded by the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes and I also contribute to the Horizon 2020 Project TiPACCs.
