EGU Early Career Award for PISM-author Ricarda Winkelmann

Published: Oct 16, 2017 by The PISM Authors

Congratulations to Ricarda Winkelmann of the University of Potsdam for receiving the EGU’s Outstanding Early Career Scientists Award in Cryospheric Sciences. Her involvement with ice sheet modeling started with a very cold trip to Fairbanks Alaska in November 2008, leading to a 2011 paper on the design of PISM-PIK which is one of the most-cited PISM papers. (PISM-PIK introduced new features for marine ice sheets which were merged into PISM itself a few years later.) The EGU citation on her work, which has mostly been on the impact of large ice masses on global sea level change, says her papers are a “testament to her exceptional clarity of thought and physical insight.” Search “Winkelmann” in the publications page for many examples.
