Nanna B. Karlsson, Glaciologist
My name is Nanna Bjørnholt Karlsson (she/her). I am a Professor at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland and an Affiliated Professor at DTU Space.
I study the impact of climate change on the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets.
My research is motivated by the urgent need to understand the response of glaciers and ice sheets to climate change. I am interested in a range of processes and dynamics that influence ice sheets and their interactions with the climate and surrounding landscapes.
In my work, I use observations, mathematical models, and statistical methods. I am lead scientist in the GEUS automatic weather station monitoring programmes GC Net and PROMICE which takes me to Greenland on a regular basis.
