Auszeichnung für innovative Forschung zur Eistemperatur

Leah Sophie Muhle erhält den EGU-OSPP Award 2025 für ihre neuartigen Methoden, Eis-Temperaturprofile in der Antarktis aus Radar- und Machine-Learning-Analysen abzuleiten.

Leah Sophie Muhle from the AG Geophysics (Link) at GUZ has won the outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (Link) Award 2025 from the European Union of Geosciences. The price was given due to her excellent PICO presentation pertaining to finding a new way of inferring ice temperature profiles from radar observations collected over the Antarctic Ice Sheet. In collaboration with the Machine Learning for Science Cluster of Excellent (Prof. J. Macke, Link) she thereby explores new ways of inferring ice temperature from radio-wave attenuation using simulation based inference. This will provide the sorely needed observational boundary conditions for ice-flow models to better predict the future of the icy continent in a warming world.

This research will provide the much-needed observational boundary conditions for ice-flow models to better predict the future of the icy continent in a warming world.
