Papers

The full and most up-to-date list of peer-reviewed papers is best found on Web of Science (Clarivate).

Papers, preprints, and conference contributions can also be found via the following profiles, which, however, can be quite messy. If you need a curated list, drop me a message!

Slides

Slides to some talks are available via Github together with the source code.

Review/Editor activities

• Reviewing papers for The Cryosphere (TC), International Journal of Climatology (JOC), Geoscientific Model Development (GMD), Climate Dynamics, and more. For a list of verified reviews, see my Web of Science profile.
• Reviewing projects for the European Union (MSCA fellowships), Czech Science Foundation, Dutch Research Council.
• since 2022: Preprint moderator for EGUsphere
• since 2021: Review Editor for Frontiers in Water, section Water and Hydrocomplexity

Coding

I love to work with but occasionally use python and bash. You can find some projects on my Github page.

• Maintainer of eurocordexr, an R-package that makes it easier to work with EURO-CORDEX regional climate model simulation netcdf files. Currently, only available on github.
• Created websites (this one here and the one for CliRSnow) with blogdown

Data sets

• Reference climate scenarios for the Trentino province
• A high density observational dataset of daily precipitation and air temperature for the Extended European Alpine Region https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14218564
• Snow cover in the European Alps: Station observations of snow depth and depth of snowfall https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4064128
• Bias adjusted and downscaled snow cover fraction from EURO-CORDEX RCMs for the Greater Alpine Region https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5266359
• Daily MODIS snow cover maps for the European Alps from 2002 onwards at 250m horizontal resolution along with a nearly cloud-free version https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3529517

Outreach

I scientifically support climate action and activism, for example with fact checks (see, e.g., 1 or 2). In private life, I provide technical advice for buddhist studies and a philosophy blog.

The snow dossier is a short overview on snow cover for the general audience.

Talks to general audience

• Invited: “Schnee im Klimawandel”, organized by Globoalpin as part of their annual talks on Mountains and Climate (Berg und Klima, Gipfelgespräche 2024). (slides)

Media

• On snow in local online media barfuss.it
• German regional television ( BR, Bergauf-Bergab: Faszination Schnee)
• Various interviews related to Alpine snow cover (as part of CliRSnow): past changes, snow in general, and future snow.
