Konrad Steffen

Research Interests

Dr. Steffen's general interest was the study of processes related to climate and cryosphere interaction in polar and alpine regions based on in-situ and satellite measurements and using climate system modeling to study their sensitivity. In particular, he studied and evaluated sea-level changes and sensitivity studies of large ice sheets using in situ and modeling results. Most of this research was supported by the NASA/NSF initiative called PARCA: Program in Regional Arctic Climate Assessment.
