ECS Challenges: Magali Ponds (IACS)

Magali Ponds is a PhD candidate in large-scale glacier modelling at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium. Her research focuses on better understanding present-day glacier volume change, for example, by attributing glacier evolution to land-use and land-cover change, as well as to the delayed response of glaciers to past climate conditions. She also works on improving the
