Attribution of Glacier Mass Loss

Global glacier retreat in recent decades was forced by anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We published this result recently in Science. Click here for more details.

Field Work in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru

In a project funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) we are conducting field work on glaciers in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru. Read more about the project here.

Water Availability

In a paper published in PNAS we investigate the influence of glaciers on seasonal water availability, and the potential dependency of local population. Click here to read more.

Global Scale Glaciology

We investigate past and future global mass change of glaciers in a number of publications, addressing an important cause of sea-level rise. Read more about a related project and publications here.

Anthropogenic forcing dominates sea-level rise

April 2016 In a paper published in Nature Climate Change, we demonstrate that anthropogenic forcing is the dominant cause of sea-level rise since about 1970. In the first half of the 20th century, only about 15...
