For two decades, I have been studying the high-latitude icescapes, viewing glaciers not merely as scientific objects, but as witnesses to Earth's history. My work is a constant dialogue between hard data and the fragile reality of a changing planet.
I believe that the greatest challenge of our time is not a lack of knowledge, but a lack of a language in which we can discuss it. That is why I co-authored The Beginning of the End? Conversations on Ice in a Warming World.
This is not just another book about catastrophe — it is a polyphonic narrative in which my own expedition experiences merge with the voices of other researchers, mountaineers, and residents of the North. Instead of a lecture, I offer readers an honest, profound dialogue about the world we all inhabit. No ten-step solutions. No alarmism.
As a scientist-practitioner, I translate the complex physics of ice into a language that everyone can understand.
How can we collaborate?
Are you looking for someone to bring a fresh, evidence-based perspective to your project? Please feel free to reach out if you need:
- An Expedition Lecturer: I turn every expedition into a lesson about the world, introducing participants to the mysteries of ice and nature in an accessible and passionate way, both at sea, and on land. I hold a full suite of professional certifications and safety documentation, and I have been operating in polar and marine environments for years.
- An Insider Speaker: I share first-hand insights on climate, Earth history, polar research, and the challenges of exploration — for audiences ranging from preschool groups to academic symposia.
- A Science Communication Expert: I write texts that reliably translate complex issues into simple language — perfect for educational, business, or scientific projects.
- A Subject-Matter Consultant: I support publications, films, and documentary programs focused on Earth sciences, polar regions, and high-altitude environments.
