We spent three days in the Obir Caves trying to shed light on their origin.

A special type of ice caves in the Alps is the target of a research proposal which was recently funded by the Austrian Science Fund.

It was a lot more work than expected but now it is finished: Check out the 3D model of Devils Hole 2 in the desert of Nevada.

Welcome to our re-designed group website!

Gina Moseley was invited to an evening at the Bundeskanzleramt

We selected Hundsalm ice cave as the field site to test instrumentation designed to monitor the micrometeorology of vertical ice-bearing caves.

Carbonate deposits formed in a 200 BC water mill proved to be the key to unravel the history of one of the oldest industrial complexes.

Philipp Gschwentner successfully presented and defended his Master thesis today.

We welcome Stephan Fuhrmann, who just embarked on a PhD project led by Michael Meyer.

Gabriella Koltai participated in a recent study which demonstrates the link between the atmospheric tritium concentration and the solar magnetic activity.

Gina Moseley returned from leading nearly a month-long expedition in East Greenland.

Die Presse featured a half page article in the last weekend edition on the OSL research headed by Michael Meyer.

The Austrian science blog Schroedingerskatze.at asked Gina five questions about herself,

The research for this study was partly done while the first author, Haiwei Zhang, was a visiting scientist at our institute in 2017.

A recent study led by Yuri Dublyansky and involving several members of our group sheds new light on the age of the Palaeolithic cave paintings in Southern Ural and their palaeoclimatic context.

We welcome (back) Charlotte Honiat who has officially started her PhD on the Last Interglacial in our group.

Der Standard has published an article on our climate research in the Arctic.

Gina has now officially began her 5-year term as Ingeborg Hochmair Professor

We provided a 2-day training unit for the Austrian participants of this year´s International Earth Science Olympiad.

Felix Rümmele successfully finished his Master program.

Five members of our group attended the 8th International Workshop on Ice Caves, held in Potes, Northern Spain.

Gina is one of this year´s awardees of the highest price for young scientists in Austria. Congratulations!

Michael Meyer and Luke Gliganic organised a week-long course on optical dating in earth sciences and archaeology.

Paul Töchterle successfully finished his Master program.

A team from our group made a trip to central and northern Slovakia in order to visit and sample hypogen caves.

We welcome Stacy Carolin to our institute and research group. Stacy will work on the history of the Asian monsoon within a project funded by the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

Tanguy Racine joined our group as a new PhD student working on ice caves in the Austrian Alps. Welcome to the team!

Katharina Gröbner successfully finished her Master program.

Gina Moseley and Stacy Carolin (soon to be a postdoc in Innsbruck) have just completed nearly three weeks of fieldwork in Borneo as part of an international team.

Congratulations to Michael who was recently awarded one of the highest prices of our University, the Liechtenstein award.

This year's traditional group sledging and dinner saw a record large group including a couple of sledging novices.

We welcome Petronela Filipčíková, a PhD student at Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovak Republic, wh

Together with archaeology colleagues we organised a hands-on workshop to test and learn how to use SFM techniques to map underground cavities.

Last week we finished field work in Death Valley National Park. The trip was very successful and changing two flat tires in the desert provided some unplanned change.

Yuri Dublyansky, Paul Töchterle und Christoph Spötl participated in recent study in the Italian Alps which shows that high altitudes were stronger affected by climate warming than low latitudes across Europe.

A very warm welcome to Prof. Jeffrey S. Munroe, who joined our group and the Department of Geology as a Fulbright awardee.

Gina Moseley received her certificate for the Hypo Tirol Research Prize.
