The IceFlow team and collaborations
The host institution is the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen and the project group is placed at the Centre for Ice and Climate, Physics of Ice, Climate and Earth, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen.
The team combines Danish and international excellence and adds a senior foreign expert. The team spans from senior researchers among the most highly cited in the world to young promising PhD students and postdoctoral researchers.
The international partners are
- Prof. Gogineni and colleagues (radar, Universities of Kansas and Alabama),
- Prof. Stocker and Schwander (rapid access drill, University of Bern), and
- Prof. Wilhelms and colleagues (ice structure equipment, Alfred Wegener Institute).
Collaboration with the EGRIP community is vital and secured. Collaboration with the NEGIS and ice-sheet modelling community is established through annual workshops.
In addition to PI Prof. Dorthe Dahl-Jensen several researchers from the Centre for Ice and Climate participates:
Of recruitments, ass. Prof. Rasmussen and ass. Prof. Grinsted were named to support the coordination, synchronization, and surface program. As a senior expert, Prof. Kipfstuhl from AWI was recruited for the ice crystal studies.
As a starting point 2 postdocs and 2 PhDs were hired. The two PhDs are now employed as postdocs after ending their PhD studies.
David Armond Lilien, Postdoc - now a Research Associate at the University of Manitoba
Nicholas Mossor Rathmann, Postdoc
Julien Westhoff, Postdoc - originally hired as a PhD fellow
Tamara Annina Gerber, Postdoc - originally hired as a PhD fellow
One more PhD position was announced in international competition in 2021 and the chosen candidate was Niels Fabrin Nymand
The project has a coordinator, Susanne Munk Andersen, with assistance from logistic coordinator Iben Koldtoft.
