My main research interests are in earth observation technologies and geoinformatics and their application to the investigation of climate-glacier relations.

I graduated from University of Zurich with a Master in Science and subsequently made my PhD thesis on glaciers and climate change in the European Alps. Besides my studies I worked as assistant scientist in the Natural Catastrophe Risk Management at Winterthur Insurance and later as GIS specialist at ESRI Switzerland. Since 2010, I have been leading the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) and I have been involved with various scientific projects of the Department of Geography of the University of Zurich.
