seasonal temperature and precipitation dynamics as key driver of permafrost changes in East Siberia. To this end, caves and permafrost exposure will be studied in East Siberia along a transect from the [...] different types of relict permafrost ice, (iii) Deduce changes in seasonality, moisture dynamics, and continentality based on results from objectives 1 and 2, and corresponding permafrost response to climate [...] orientation of research projects include scientific applications of stable isotope methods in permafrost research, palaeoclimate studies, by also in the fields of limnology, hydrology, ecology and glaciology

and the validation of satellite products – for example on forest types, tree height, biomass, or permafrost indicators. Our open access datasets and methods support research, public authorities, and pra

climates, with a particular focus on open larch forest ecosystems in Arctic environments underlain by permafrost. Today, LAVESI has been extended to simulate all key boreal tree species within the Taiga–Tundra

large-scale components of the Earth, like the ice sheets and ocean circulation, boreal forest and permafrost. We strive to increase our understanding of the relevant processes driving dynamics within these

I have loved snow and ice since I was little, which is why I wrote my doctoral thesis on Arctic permafrost. I then shifted my professional focus to management, organization, and communication in science
