معرفی
Erik Schytt Mannerfelt is a Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oslo's Department of Geosciences (Section for Geography and Hydrology). His research focuses on glaciology, remote sensing, and geospatial software development. He holds an MSc in Geology from the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) and a BSc in Earth Sciences from Stockholm University. He previously worked as a scientific assistant in glaciology at ETH Zurich.
Key affiliations include the Cryosphere Geomatics and Remote Sensing research groups. His work integrates historical and modern photogrammetry techniques with open-source geospatial tools to study Arctic glaciers and permafrost dynamics. Notable projects include analyzing glacier surges using SAR data and reconstructing historical glacier volumes through archival imagery.
Research interests span glacier dynamics, remote sensing applications, and environmental impacts of climate change. He has published extensively on topics like methane emissions from deglaciating permafrost, surge-type glacier detection, and long-term glacial retreat patterns. His interdisciplinary approach combines fieldwork, computational modeling, and satellite data analysis.
