Eric Pohl

Eric Pohl is a Senior Researcher in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Fribourg, Faculty of Science and Medicine. His research focuses on water-related processes in mountainous regions, including glacier dynamics, hydrological modeling, permafrost studies, and the impacts of climate change on high-altitude environments. Current projects involve glacier runoff analysis in Central Asia (e.g., Tien Shan and Pamir Mountains) and permafrost monitoring in Siberia through collaborations with institutions like the LSCE in Paris-Saclay. He develops innovative methods for data integration, such as petrophysical joint inversion and non-parametric statistical approaches to detect climate signals. His work bridges geophysics, hydrology, and remote sensing to address environmental challenges in data-scarce regions.

Key research themes include:

• Glacier meltwater contributions to river systems
• Permafrost thermal regime and ground ice quantification
• Climate change impacts on sediment transport and hydrological cycles
• Modeling hydrological processes in mountain catchments

His publications emphasize methodological advancements and interdisciplinary approaches to understand cryospheric and hydrological systems in Central Asia and Siberia. While no formal awards are listed, his contributions to glaciology and permafrost science are evident through extensive collaborative projects and peer-reviewed outputs.
