Welcome – Samuel Nussbaumer's Website

I am currently a Postdoc at the World Glacier Monitoring Service and Department of Geography at the University of Zurich. I finished my PhD thesis in the Climatology and Meteorology Research Group at the University of Bern in May 2010.
My research focus is on historical glacier variations in Europe (Alps, Scandinavia) and southern South America and their connection to climate.
