A poster from 2021 showing the approach I was leading in the Norwegian Nansen Legacy project - merging geophysical data collection (skied/walked surveys, point measurements) with small scale remote sensing (drone orthophotos). Connecting dots, painting in knowledge gaps.

I'm open for consulting / permanent work on leading, teaching or doing similar things!

A conference poster titled "drones, probes and sleds". The left side is an aerial orthophotograph of an arctic sea ice floe with blue lines and white text overlaid. The blue line is a path surveyed on ski using a snow probe and towed electromagnetic induction sounder. A small inset photo at the bottom right (blue background) shows this process in action. 

The blue line's shade and width represents combined ice + snow thickness (darker / narrower is thinner, broader/lighter is thicker).

Toward the bottom of the map some melt ponds are segmented using an OBIA approach.

The research icebreaker FF Kronprins Haakon is shown at the very bottom of the map.

On the right is a lot of text, and two plots showing distribution of snow and ice thickness along the blue line in the map. This   is how the data are normally presented, so the aim is to directly contrast with the map - which (imo) gives critical information about *where* snow and ice distributions are structured and related in space.

A small inset photo (white background) shows the small drone used, launching at a different site in wind and blowing snow.
