Ingo Sasgen

Ingo Sasgen is a Senior Scientist at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research. He specializes in glaciology, polar climate systems, and satellite gravimetry. His current role includes serving as spokesperson for the 'Sea-level change and coastal impacts' topic within the Helmholtz Regional Climate Change Initiative (REKLIM). Sasgen’s research focuses on ice mass balance, sea-level change, and glacial-isostatic adjustment, leveraging satellite data such as GRACE and GRACE-FO to monitor Earth’s mass redistribution.

• Expertise: Satellite gravimetry, ice dynamics, climate change impacts
• Key Projects: GravIS portal for mass anomaly visualization, Antarctic and Greenland ice sheet monitoring

His work bridges geophysics and climate science, contributing to global understanding of polar region changes. Recent studies analyze Arctic glacier responses to atmospheric patterns and Antarctic ice loss acceleration.
