My work covers experimental and modeling component that will establish an accurate basis for the use of water isotopic composition in studies of the terrestrial and extraterrestrial hydrological cycle.

Master Theses

• Modelling the impact of snow metamorphism on the distribution of stable water isotopes in snow.
• Experimental analysis of snow metamorphism on the stable water isotope composition in snow and air.
• Wind estimation by unmanned aircraft system measurements and machine learning models.
