Oak is an important species in the Hindu-Kush Mountain region of Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The area is climate-prone due to massive anthropogenic activities. Therefore, this research investigates the population dynamics and carbon sequestration p...

I present my ongoing work using the emulator from the Instructed Glacier Model (IGM) (https://github.com/jouvetg/igm) to invert for ice thickness at the 200,000 glaciers in the world outside the polar ice sheets. The basis of the emulator is a convolutiona...

The Antarctic coastline is constantly changing. Three-quarters of the coastline are fringed by ice shelves, the floating extensions of the Antarctic ice sheet. The retreat or disintegration of ice shelves with buttressing forces cause enhanced mass loss of...

TanDEM-X is the first operational spaceborne bistatic SAR system comprising the two twin satellites TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X. The system acts as a large single-pass radar interferometer, nominally acquiring interferometric SAR images in bistatic configurati...

Among the myriad of mitigation strategies for anthropogenic climate warming, Climatic Geoengineering is one of the most controversial proposals to limit projected trajectories of temperature increase for the rest of the 21st century. Numerical models that ...

This study focuses on understanding how Northern Hemispheric ice sheet evolu-
tion can impact Southern Hemispheric ice sheets during the Last Deglaciation. Few
models exist that can model the Last Deglaciation and often comprise simplied
physics. Therefore, o...

The increasing frequency of extreme weather events, such as heat waves and severe droughts, is primary associated with changes in large-scale atmospheric circulation and the jet stream states. Those variations within the leading modes of atmospheric variab...
