Tanja Fromm

Tanja Fromm is a geophysicist at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI), specializing in Antarctic ice dynamics, crustal structure, and geophysical methods. Her work focuses on ice shelf stability, meltwater dynamics, and subglacial geology. She leads expeditions to Antarctica, including operations at Neumayer Station III and Kohnen Station, and collaborates on projects like the Ekström Ice Shelf studies. Her research integrates seismology, magnetotellurics, and oceanography to understand Earth's processes in polar regions.

Key projects include:

• Monitoring basal melt at Ekström Ice Shelf using continuous observations
• Characterizing grounding zones via magnetotellurics and GNSS
• Studying tidal effects on ice shelf dynamics

She also contributes to international collaborations on seismic networks and Antarctic logistics, advancing understanding of climate impacts on polar environments.
