PhD student Joana Baptista (CEG/IGOT-ULisboa) participated in the EGU General Assembly held in Vienna from April 14th to 19th. Thanks to funding support from the POLAR2E grant for young researchers to attend international conferences, she was able to engage in Cryosphere sessions and other initiatives organized by the Union throughout the week. During the session CR4.2 on Permafrost dynamics, interactions, feedbacks, disturbances, and GHGs across scales: perspectives from observation to modelling, she delivered an oral presentation titled “Cryogrid potential for modeling permafrost temperature in Maritime Antarctica (Barton Peninsula, King George Island)“.
