HELGA WEBER

Geographer, Instructor of Adventure of Science, Central Asia

I’m coming from the flatlands, where small hills grew up to high mountains. Glaciers? No way. But through my studies in Geography, I become fascinated about mountains & glaciers and started to explore them. A PhD in remote sensing related to a high alpin ice core research project and a current PostDoc & teaching position followed at the University of Bern, Switzerland. Having done research in the Himalayas as well as the Alps and the Altai, I experienced different disciplinary approaches as well as initiatives to cope with climate change in person in the field as well as remote from satellite observations. Its a extreme wild, but also fragile nature. Every young women should have a chance to explore and experience it, becoming inspired, empowered as well as conscious about the ice-covered mountains. I’m enthusiastic to support Girls on Ice doing so.
