The cryosphere is undergoing a profound transformation due to the compounded impacts of climate change. In order to develop effective strategies for mitigating its effects on our planet and to inform policy decisions, it is crucial to understand the fundamental processes driving this change. My research investigates the evolution of earth’s surface in cold regions through targeted experiments and fieldwork. By enhancing our understanding of the underlying physics, we aim to improve predictions about large-scale changes, such as the evolution of the ice sheets and their contribution to future sea level rise.

A few questions I am currently passionate about:

• The interaction between glacier ice and sediment and its impact on the dynamics of fast-moving ice streams

• Sedimentation at ice-stream grounding lines

• The evolution of subglacial hydrologic systems

• The mechanical and dielectric properties of debris/ice/sediment mixtures

• Rheology of heterogeneous granular materials

• Landscape evolution in the cryosphere

• Sediment transport in alpine environments
