Andreas Frenzel

Andreas Frenzel is a Researcher at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI), specializing in glaciology with a focus on borehole measurements, physical properties of ice cores, and information systems. He is affiliated with the Department of Glaciology and has contributed significantly to projects such as the EPICA ice core drilling in Antarctica. His work includes advancing drilling technologies, analyzing ice core dynamics, and studying Antarctic climate variability.

Research Interests: Borehole measurements, ice core densification, seismic and electrical profiling, and Antarctic climate reconstruction. He has been involved in constructing and operating research stations like the Kohnen Station and has expertise in field instrumentation and logistics.

Key Contributions: Co-authored studies on the EPICA Dronning Maud Land drilling operation, densification of polar firn, and in situ ice deformation measurements. His technical expertise includes developing methods for borehole logging and DEP (Dielectric Profiling) during rapid access drilling.

Roles: Safety Representative at AWI, contributing to safety protocols in polar fieldwork. His research integrates geophysical and glaciological methods to address climate and ice sheet dynamics.
