Ph.D. Student
Biography
M.Sc. Delong Tao joined the Institute for Geodesy and Geoinformation (IGG), Astronomical, Physical and mathematical Geodesy Group at the University of Bonn, in 2023.
He works at understanding climate-driven changes in the cryosphere. His doctoral research primarily centers on the enhancement of glacier mass loss estimations. He employs a multifaceted approach, incorporating field, machine learning models, space-geodetic techniques, and regional climate models. The core objective is to decipher the intricate mechanisms that govern the response of glaciers, particularly in Greenland, to the dual forces of climate and oceanic warming. By refining these estimates, this study will provide more accurate insights into the fingerprint of Greenland's ice melt and strengthen existing models of Greenland mass balance.
