Winter Aletsch 2026 Expedition
This was our third consecutive winter expedition to investigate temporal and spatial changes in the firn pack within the accumulation area of the Aletsch Glacier. We combined Ground‑Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys with three shallow firn cores to directly compare geophysical and glaciological observations. The resulting multi‑year dataset is unique for a European glacier, providing repeat […]This was our third consecutive winter expedition to investigate temporal and spatial changes in the firn pack within the accumulation area of the Aletsch Glacier.

Research Stay at British Antarctic Survey (BAS), Cambridge, United Kingdom
I recently completed a three‑week research stay at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), which was an exceptional opportunity to broaden my scientific perspective. Working closely with Dr. Carlos Martin—both a geophysicist and modeller—was particularly enriching, offering valuable insights into approaching firn processes from a modelling standpoint. BAS is an inspiring environment for any early‑career scientist, […]I recently completed a three‑week research stay at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), which was an exceptional opportunity to broaden my scientific perspective.

Digital Elevation Models and Orthomosaics of 1989 aerial imagery of the Western Antarctic Peninsula and surrounding islands between 66–68° S
We present a unique, timestamped, high-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and orthomosaic dataset, derived from aerial imagery that covers about 12 000 km2 area on the western Antarctic Peninsula and surrounding islands between 66–68° S. We used a film-based aerial image archive from 1989 acquired by the Institut für Angewandte Geodäsie (IfAG), which is kept in the Archive […]
