THE NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TEAM
Irina Rogozhina
Associate Professor, GOTHECA group leader, supervising new applications of numerical models, automated classification of satellite images and field data acquisition to reconstruct long-term changes in glacial environments, project their impacts on hydrological systems and develop early warning systems on regional and national scales.
Yongmei Gong
Researcher, project manager of GOTHECA-NOCK, specializing in computer modeling of ice dynamics, surface mass balance, subglacial hydrology and will contribute to GLOF modeling, field data acquisition (drone image photogrammetry), using qualitative methods assessing risk and resilience of local communities and science communication.
Haakon Lein
Professor, current research interests are related to rural livelihoods, natural resource management, especially water and biodiversity, as well as climate change and natural hazards; will contribute to assessing risk and resilience of local communities.
Sangita Tomar
Postdoctoral Researcher, specializing in field data acquisition- Ground Penetrating Radar data acquisition for glacier bedrock identification, model development towards regional glacio-hydrological modeling of river basins.
Ronja Lappe
PhD candidate, with a background in Physical Geography and Applied Earth Observation, responsible for analyzing glacier and glacial lake changes over time using satellite data and field measurements; will contribute to assessing risk and resilience of local communities to glacier-related natural hazards.
Ursula Enzenhofer
PhD candidate, with a background in natural hazards and glaciology; will investigate the drivers and mechanisms of Glacier lake outburst floods through field investigations and modelling.
COLLABORATORS
Liss Marie Andreassen
Research Scientist at The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate, specializing in field data acquisition (mass balance measurements, glacier mapping and change detection), modelling glacier mass balance, and remote sensing of snow and glaciers; will contribute to data acquisition in Norway, scientific consulting and science dissimilation.
Thorben Dunse
Associate Professor at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, specializing in field data acquisition (Glacier dynamics and mass balance) and assessing the role of glaciers for downstream ecosystems; will contribute to data acquisition in Norway, scientific consulting and science dissimilation.
Guoqing Zhang
Professor at Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), specializing in field data acquisition and remote sensing of glacial lake changes; will contribute to data acquisition in Chinese Karakorum, scientific consulting and science dissimilation.
Chunhai Xu
Assistant Professor at Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), specializing in field data acquisition of glacier and glacier mass balance changes; will contribute to data acquisition in Chinese Karakorum, scientific consulting and science dissimilation.
Anna Sinisalo
Principal Expert of Polar and Climate at GRID-Arendal, specializing in assessing changes occurring in the cryosphere such as glaciers, snow cover and ice sheets in the Arctic, Antarctica and in Hindu Kush Himalaya and how these changes impact and interact with diverse groups of people and the environment to improve decision-making and help build resilience and reduce risks, will contribute to assessing risk and resilience of local communities and science dissimilation.
