My main research interest is the role of Arctic and Antarctic sea ice in the climate, eco-, and human systems. I am working on studies of sea ice properties and processes by means of in-situ measurements, airborne and satellite remote sensing, and modeling. My main achievement is the establishment of operational electromagnetic (EM) ice thickness measurements using various platforms including airplanes, and the acquisition of systematic observations for climate studies and ice engineering applications. However, I have also pioneered the identification of the impact of summer snow processes for the mass balance, microwave properties, and biological primary productivity of Antarctic sea ice. Much of this work is ongoing and being advanced. I have led or been involved in more than 30 field campaigns in the Arctic since 1991, and have carried out 12 research projects in Antarctica since 1992. After holding an Alberta Ingenuity Scholarship at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada, and a Tier-1 Canada Research Chair at York University, Toronto, Canada, I am a Professor for Sea Ice Geophysics at the University of Bremen and Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany since 2016.

Previously, Nico mainly worked on tropical cyclones, the Indo-Pacific climate, and ocean-atmosphere interactions. A large part of his work is based on numerical models designed to simulate some physical constituents of the climate system.

Joe MacGregor is a glaciologist and geophysicist interested in the past, present and future flow of ice sheets. He seeks to understand why ice sheets flow more quickly in some areas than in others, how this flow evolves over time and how we can better observe the controls upon ice flow. These are critical concerns for Earth’s two remaining ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, along with ice masses elsewhere in the Solar System. With a diverse set of collaborators at NASA and partner institutions, his current research synthesizes observations from a variety of methods, including airborne radar sounding (e.g., Operation IceBridge), satellite remote sensing (e.g., Landsat, MODIS, InSAR), ground-based surveys (e.g., ice core chemistry, borehole thermometry) and laboratory measurements (e.g., dielectric spectroscopy) to better understand ice sheets.

Arjen Stroeven
Stockholm University Department of Physical Geography
Sweden
Arjen Stroeven graduated in Physical Geography from Utrecht University (1988) on a thesis in glaciology (Rabots glaciär, northern Sweden). He subsequently pursued a MSc in Quaternary Sciences from the University of Maine (1994) and a PhD from Stockholm University (1996) on the Sirius group of Mt Fleming, Transantarctic Mountains. He is a professor in Physical Geography at Stockholm University where he pursues research in landscape dynamics of formerly glaciated regions using cosmogenic nuclides (Antarctica, Fennoscandia, Tibet and Central Asia, Cordillera).

I am interested in understanding the flow (or rherology) of complex systems. I have studied a wide range of materials from the atomic scale (glassy disordered materials) to the geophysical scale (sea ice). While often of fundamental nature my research is always intended to address practical challenges in both the field of material sciences and climate sciences. This dual approach in my research, fundamental and applied, is very clearly evidenced in my recent work in the construction and analysis of new mathematical models of physical processes in the sea ice component of the general circulation models (GCMs) which combines the development of fundamental new theory and numerical simulations with field measurements and remotely-sensed observations.
