Short presentation
I am a glaciologist, geologist and geochemist. My research interests are the effects of climate variations on the cryosphere, and environmental pollution in northern high-latitude regions. My current work focuses on long-range air transport, deposition and biogeochemical cycling of pollutants such as black carbon and mercury in the Arctic and subarctic.
