Dr. Christian Haas is a Professor of Sea Ice Geophysics and Remote Sensing at the University of Bremen, and is the leader of the sea ice research group at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven, Germany. From 2007 to 2012 Christian was a Professor and Alberta Ingenuity Scholar at the Universtity of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada, and between 2012 and 2017 a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair at York University, Toronto, Canada. His main research interest is the role of Arctic and Antarctic sea ice in the climate, eco-, and human systems. He is working on studies of sea ice properties and processes by means of in-situ measurements, airborne and satellite remote sensing, and modeling. His main achievement is the establishment of operational electromagnetic (EM) ice thickness measurements using various platforms including airplanes, and the acquisition of systematic observations for climate studies, ice engineering applications, and travel safety. Christian has carried out extensive validation campaigns for ESA and NASA satellite and airborne missions, and has advanced usage of satellite SAR imagery for sea ice process studies. However, he has also pioneered the identification of the impact of summer snow processes for the mass balance, microwave properties, and biological primary productivity of Antarctic sea ice. Christian has led more than 30 field campaigns in the Arctic and Antarctic since 1991.

Joe MacGregor is a glaciologist and geophysicist interested in the past, present and future flow of ice sheets. He seeks to understand why ice sheets flow more quickly in some areas than in others, how this flow evolves over time and how we can better observe the controls upon ice flow. These are critical concerns for Earth’s two remaining ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, along with ice masses elsewhere in the Solar System. With a diverse set of collaborators at NASA and partner institutions, his current research synthesizes observations from a variety of methods, including airborne radar sounding (e.g., Operation IceBridge), satellite remote sensing (e.g., Landsat, MODIS, InSAR), ground-based surveys (e.g., ice core chemistry, borehole thermometry) and laboratory measurements (e.g., dielectric spectroscopy) to better understand ice sheets.

My primary research interest is in remote sensing of oro-arctic environments and changes in the vegetation of these areas. Recent work includes mapping of permafrost changes in northern Sweden. I combine multiple data sources such as optical data from Sentinel-2 or Landsat, but also incorporate 3D data from LiDAR or photogrammetry. Connecting information at different spatial scales is done using data from drones and satellite platforms.

Arjen Stroeven graduated in Physical Geography from Utrecht University (1988) on a thesis in glaciology (Rabots glaciär, northern Sweden). He subsequently pursued a MSc in Quaternary Sciences from the University of Maine (1994) and a PhD from Stockholm University (1996) on the Sirius group of Mt Fleming, Transantarctic Mountains. He is a professor in Physical Geography at Stockholm University where he pursues research in landscape dynamics of formerly glaciated regions using cosmogenic nuclides (Antarctica, Fennoscandia, Tibet and Central Asia, Cordillera).
