Research field
The research fields are Physics, and inside the Environmental Science field, we find Earth science and Water science.
Research
You will use numerical and experimental methods to study snow-atmosphere feedbacks in mountain catchments. You will perform field experiments to investigate processes driving sub-grid variability of wind and temperature over a depleting snow cover in spring. This will lead to an advanced understanding on the impact that land-surface heterogeneity has on local meteorology and seasonal snow cover at different spatial scales. Based on experimental findings you will develop a two-way coupled model system of atmospheric and multi-layer snow models that accounts for the sub-grid variability of surface fluxes to improve seasonal snow cover predictions. You will present your scientific results in journal publications and at international conferences.
