Obleitner, Friedrich – TRANS

Obleitner, Friedrich, Dr.: Since 1988 staff member of the Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics, Innsbruck University. Experience in mass- and energy budget investigations at glaciers and ice sheets. Participated in corresponding projects in the Alps (MaB/6, IHP/IHD), Antarctica (wintering over at Neumayer station in 1981/82), Greenland (ISLSCP, GRIP-92) and most recently in Iceland (TEMBA) and Spitzbergen.
