Assistant professor in Glaciology
About me
I am an assistant professor in the field of glaciology and polar meteorology at the Institute for Marine and Atmospheric research Utrecht (IMAU), part of Utrecht University, The Netherlands. I'm active on Mastodon.
Featured paper: Firn review paper
We study firn because it contains clues about past climate, because it modifies meltwater runoff into the ocean, and because it can help us to measure ice-sheet mass change from space using satellites. After a lot of hard work, an overview paper on firn is out!
Blue ice in Antarctica
Using a spectral unmixing technique, we map daily fractions of blue-ice area over Antarctica for the 22-year period since 2000, using the full available MODIS archive. This FABIAN product is published in Remote Sensing of Environment.
Kitchen converter
In Swedish cookbooks, almost all necessary bulk ingredients
are given in a volume (ml) rather than weight (g). This is
very convenient since you do not need a kitchen balance, only
a set of widely available plastic scoops in various sizes. To
be able to use this method in Dutch or English
cookbooks, I compiled a short conversion table:
100 g potato starch = 215 ml
100 g flour = 215 ml
100 g butter = 375 ml
100 g cocoa = 190 ml
100 g cornstarch (maizena) = 215 ml
100 g raisins = 150 ml
100 g sugar = 125 ml
100 g salt = 100 ml
