My early research was on the e�ect of volcanic eruptions on climate during the last 400 years. I investigated the impact of explosive erup-tions, such as Tambora in 1815, in general circulation models as examples of extreme external forcing.

Since then, I’ve been working more on the evolution of Arctic and high- to mid-latitude climates over the last 150 years. I combine in-situ, proxy, reanalysis and model data to try to untangle puzzling features and questions. I focus especially on the changing cryosphere and its impact on atmospheric circulation patterns. This includes analysing processes ranging from daily to decadal, and from regional to hemispheric resolution.

Besides these scienti�c foci, I am highly inter-ested in graphic and communication design. In some instances I am able to combine this inter-est with professional matters, such as talks, posters or �gures. I often wonder about how to deliver (my) messages visually, dwelve into graphic design magazines and look out for new font types or color palettes.
