EO4GRHO seeks to push the boundaries of what types of information can be derived from EO datasets and explore how data from multiple satellites can support one another when analyzed together. Specific to Greenland

“I have extremely enjoyed my time as an ESA LPF. The opportunity to pursue my own interests, while growing myself as a researcher has been invaluable. Having been able to work closely with ESA and get to know its people and practices is a strong foundation I hope to build on as I continue with my career..”

After the fellowship I will be continuing on at DTU Space researching the derivation of ice sheet surface properties from satellite remote sensing datasets
