Sepp Kipfstuhl

Dr. Sepp Kipfstuhl is a Researcher at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven, Germany. His work focuses on polar ice core analysis and climate reconstructions through DFG-funded infrastructure projects. His research examines ice microstructure properties and chemical signatures to understand historical climate patterns.
