Therese Rieckh

Therese Rieckh serves as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Earth Science, University of Bergen, Norway, actively contributing to the Quaternary geology and Paleoclimate research group. Her work bridges computational modeling with paleoclimate reconstruction, focusing on ice-sheet dynamics and historical climate impacts.

Her research portfolio emphasizes:

• Glaciology and ice-sheet modeling (including development of the ELSA v2.0 tracing model)
• Paleoclimatology of the Holocene and Little Ice Age periods
• Quaternary geological processes and their implications for modern climate change
• Diversity and inclusion initiatives within geoscientific communities

Analysis of her 2024-2025 publications reveals an integrated research approach combining high-performance computational modeling with field-based climate reconstruction. Key themes include ice-sheet layer dynamics (ELSA v2.0), Holocene climate-glacier interactions (Sermeq Kujalleq study), and sociological dimensions of glaciology. Her work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections between geophysics, climate science, and academic community building.
