Pascal Emanuel Egli
Om
- PhD fra Université de Lausanne (2022)
- Msc i miljøtekknik fra ETH Zürich (2014)
- Bsc i "Environmental Science and Engineering" fra EPFL (2011)
Pascal Egli har en doktorgrad i geografi fra Universitetet i Lausanne, Sveits («ismarginale subglasiale kanaler og deres forhold til den raske tilbaketrekningen av tempererte alpine isbreer», 2022), og en mastergrad fra ETH Zürich (2014), med temaet Large Eddy Simulations for urban canopies. Han har arbeidserfaring innen naturfareteknikk, inkludert hydraulisk modellering i 1D og 2D.
Pascal har utført feltarbeid innen glasiologi på flere alpine isbreer i de sveitsiske Alpene, på norske isbreer, på utløpsbreer i den nordlige patagonske innlandsisen i Chile, på isbreer av surge-typen i Pakistan, på naturfarer i Uganda og i Himalaya i Nepal, ved hjelp av metoder som bakkepenetrerende radar, varmtvannsboring, UAV-fotogrammetri, sporstoffeksperimenter, installasjon av sensorer og målestasjoner og dGPS.
