Mauro has recently finished his MSc at IAC ETH. Mauro intensively studied climate change in the Arctic during his MSc thesis (on the atmoshperic dynamics leading to Greenland melt events) but also as a member of the MOSAiC expedition. Mauro now joins the INTEXseas project as a PhD student. In INTEXseas, Mauro will investigate societal effects of extreme seasons with a special focus on the Alpine region: “As the INTEXseas project targets the seasonal timescale, its results are conceivably highly significant for different economic sectors such as agriculture, forestry, health, energy and tourism. I am looking forward to work in a well-known team, tackling the project from the impact side of forest damage and/or winter seasons in the Alps.”
