As permafrost scientist, my research focuses on the interaction between climate, vegetation, topography and soil characteristics. My major interest is quantifying the role of different drivers like snow cover or moss thickness for spatial soil temperature variability and thaw depth. I combine detailed field surveys with high resolution airborne image and laser scanning data. This imaging and mapping introduced me to the Helmholtz Imaging community
