His work also includes contributions to ice-core interpretation and palaeoclimate studies, our understanding of climate in relation to glacier surging, as well as snow and sea-ice sciences. Significant contributions include the interpretation of radar returns with the help of ice cores, the identification of radio-echo free zones, a careful analysis of the effects of anisotropy on radar signals and the development of a mathematically robust solution to untangle the effect of ice flow on accumulation history recorded in radar-detectable layers.

Home / Education / Planet Press / Articles / How are melting glaciers affecting people in Bolivia?
20 October 2016 The Andes are the longest above-ground mountain range in the world. They stretch through seven countries along the west coast of South America, including Bolivia. Up high in the mountains, where it is very cold, there are large bodies of ice known as glaciers that form when snow falls and gets compressed by the weight of further snowfall on top.

Further, flood hazard inferred from the recurrence frequency of high discharge years is severely underestimated by 24–38% in the instrumental record compared to previous centuries and climate model projections. A focus on only recent observations will therefore be insufficient to accurately characterise flood hazard risk in the region, both in the context of natural variability and climate change.

Claude Duguay at the University of Waterloo in Ontario Canada. Ontario’s local climate is highly influenced by the Laurentian Great Lakes. Residing in this region, Janine found it fit to study the spatiotemporal behaviours and trends in lake effect snowfall and its predictor variables in response to a changing climate.

Strecker has successfully mentored numerous foreign students, researchers, and collaborators in the framework of international research and training programmes. He has published in leading international scientific journals, including Nature and Science, and has received more than 5000 citations, corresponding with an h-index of 72.
Home / Awards & medals / Arthur Holmes Medal & Honorary Membership / 2005 / Anny Cazenave
Anny Cazenave The 2005 Arthur Holmes Medal & Honorary Membership is awarded to Anny Cazenave for her outstanding contributions over a wide range of topics in geodesy concerned with the internal structure and fluid envelope of the Earth. Anny Cazanave has undertaken outstanding research projects in the general field of geodesy applied to a number of key research problems in the earth sciences: the internal structure of the earth; temporal variations in the earth’s gravity field; distrubution of the fluid envelopes of the Earth; evolution of sea level and the response of the earth to climate change; continental hydrology.
