Birte is currently in her first postdoc at LOCEAN, Sorbonne Université, Paris, France. There, she is using an ocean model to investigate the response of the ocean to freshwater from recent and projected melting of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Before moving to Paris, she completed her undergraduate studies in Germany and her PhD in Sweden, […]

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
