Master student of Marine Sciences. Currently an internee doing some research on radar measurements of snow layers. Lover of the oceans, cappuccino, sea ice, data and bread.
#ECR is completely missing the pre-PhD people. I feel like everything that has ECRs as their target group is heavily dominated by PhD students and post-docs... Makes sense, they bring more experience and skills but come on, give opportunities to us master graduates [and maybe some money to survive]

A new study led by Niels Fuchs uses hydrological models to predict the locations of melt ponds: doi.org/10.1029/2025GL115033

Off to #EGU25 via train from Tromsø🚄 @egu-cr.bsky.social. First a 4 hour bus ride til Narvik and then onto the Nightjet to Stockholm. Fingers crossed for good connections in the next days (looking at you DB).

10 days in Longyearbyen & 1 day on Polar-6 to survey sea ice around the archipelago and fly a Sentinel-3 track with AWI.

Although there was not much snow on the sea ice, let's see what we can do to better understand radar interaction observed on different scales (drone - aircraft - satellite).

Hellooo Tromsø, looking forward to living here for the next five months! My research on drone-borne radar measurements of snow starts tomorrow. Excited!

Had a great week in Col du Lautaret in the French Alps learning a lot about snow in-situ measurements and GPR during the Université Grenoble Alpes snow field course. Made me appreciate how demanding and time consuming field measurements can be.
