PhD project
Ice in caves, a high resolution archive of past winter precipitation threatened by Global Warming

Research interests
• Exploring the potential of ice in caves as Middle to Late Holocene palaeoclimate archives
• Sampling cave hosted ice deposits to reconstruct winter precipitation records in alpine regions
• Monitoring and modelling ice cave microclimate and ice mass balance dynamics in the context of global warming
