Simon Filhol

Simon Filhol is a Research Fellow at the Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo. He holds a Ph.D. in Geophysics from the University of Alaska Fairbanks (USA) and an Ingenieur Geotechnique from University Joseph Fourier, Grenoble, France. His research focuses on the dynamics of seasonal snow in boreal and Arctic environments, including glaciology, cryosphere interactions, and remote sensing applications. He contributes to projects like ESCYMO, enhancing snow model accuracy, and the Tracking Energy and Water in Alpine Environments initiative, which uses advanced instrumentation to study energy and water fluxes in harsh environments.
