Torsten Albrecht

Torsten Albrecht currently serves as the Theme Lead for Ice Dynamics in the Earth Resilience Science Unit at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) since January 2020, emphasizing the interactive coupling of ice, ocean, and solid Earth processes. Prior to this role, Torsten held multiple postdoctoral researcher positions at PIK from 2014 to 2019, focusing on high-resolution ice flow and ocean model coupling, ensemble simulations of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, and contributing to significant modeling initiatives including the German Climate Modeling Initiative PalMod. Additionally, Torsten has experience as a scientific expedition member to Antarctica, a research assistant, and a visiting researcher at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Academic credentials include a PhD in Climate Physics and a diploma in Physics from the University of Potsdam, supplemented with studies in climate science and oceanography during an Erasmus exchange at the University of Bergen.
