Dr. Ralf Greve
Professor, Glacier and Ice Sheet Research
Profile
Welcome to my "icy" homepage!
✻ ✻ ✻ ✻ ✻
I am a professor at Hokkaido University's Institute of Low Temperature Science in Sapporo, Japan. A physicist by training, my main focus is on the evolution, dynamics and thermodynamics of the Earth's ice sheets, using numerical modelling. I am the author/co-author of more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific papers and two textbooks on ice dynamics and continuum mechanics, serve as an Associate Chief Editor for the Journal of Glaciology and maintain the open-source ice-sheet model SICOPOLIS.
For further details, please have a look at my profile at Researchmap (bilingual English/Japanese) or my curriculum vitae (PDF file).
