University of Utrecht, The Netherlands
MSc Meteorology, physical oceanography and climate
The cryosphere. My MSc thesis is about velocity variations of the Greenland ice sheet margin in relation to meltwater production.
Field School Project: An Investigation of the impacts of polynyas in Storfjorden, Svalbard
Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
MSc in Physics - Electrical properties of sea ice
My research interests include both aspects of pure physics and geophysics. I am particularly interested in modelling and understanding of the Earths magnetic field, Raman spectroscopy and using electric methods to investigate the physics of the earth. My masters project involves making impedance measurements on 1st year Antarctic sea ice with the goal of interpreting these in terms of the ice microstructure.

MSc Climate Change
My main interest lies with the Antarctic but to be more specific, modes of atmospheric variability in the southern hemisphere. This includes, most notably, the southern annular mode and how this is projected to evolve under global warming, but also how it influences regional, and hemispheric climate.
