Officially, I became a member of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences "IAHS", and i got the Young Scientists Travelling award "SYSTA", in recognition of high potential in early career scientists. Many thanks to @IAHS_AISH for their support – at City Centre, Berlin
SYSTA awards are so important iahs.info/About-IAHS/SYSTA-G… Huge congratulations Benjamin, it’s a pleasure to have you join us!

I started my #PhD without a scholarship or any source of funding and still on ...
But #SYSTA2023 #award come through to expose me to the @IAHS_AISH fraternity @theIUGG @GFZ_Potsdam ... My heart ❤️ missed a beat when I received the email ✉️ of my award letter.

One of our PhD candidates, Janna, is currently enjoying practical sessions, lectures and discussions in the Snow Microwave Radiative Transfer (SMRT) model training workshop @AWI_Media in Bremerhaven. Exciting: SMRT covers sea ice! 😃

Our Ct scanner is almost ready to depart for #CHARS 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for the safe transportation and successful installation in the high arctic to discover the wonder of arctic snow microstructure
In Bremerhaven training the next generation of SMRT users, with special focus on sea ice (as well as snow, of course!). Fantastic facilities and fantastic colleagues. Huge thanks for having us @AWI_de and for the support @ESA_EO #SMRTworkshop2023
