...who has been nominated by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) to be the Swedish representative in the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) Cryosphere working group.

The scientific core elements of IASC are its five Working Groups. The main function of the working groups is to encourage and support science-led international programs by offering opportunities for planning and coordination, and by facilitating communication and access to facilities. Each working group is composed of up to two scientists from each IASC member country, appointed by the national adhering bodies. The members are experts in their field, with an international reputation, and from different scientific disciplines so that the full range of Arctic research is represented in the WGs.
What are your thoughts about the appointment and your contribution to this working group?
- I am honoured and excited and look forward to work with my international colleagues. Since I have had the great pleasure working with many of the cryospheric components, snow, glaciers and permafrost and also worked with "the Snow Water Ice and Permafrost in the Arctic" project, I hope I can contribute with a holistic view on the cryosphere to the working group
