-5 x 5 min mini series on Solar Geoengineering for Ö1 Radio
-Discussing Geoengineering in the podcast Freitag in der Arena
- On the extremely warm North Atlantic for n1info.si (Aug, Očistili smo ozračje...in s tem dodatno segreli oceane)
-On hail formation for n1info.si (Kako v resnici nastane toča?) (Jul)
-I discussed geoengineering for the podcast "Tauwetter" (Wie sich das Klima manipulieren lässt?) and was featured in an article on geoengineering in the Austrian magazine Profil (Geoengineering: Irrsin oder Klima-Rettung?) (Jul)
I wrote a blog post for the newspaper of the University of Vienna on solar geoengineering (A planetary sunscreen can probably cool the climate, but not solve the climate crisis) (May)
A few of my thoughts on geoengineering appeared in Der Standards' "Rätsel der Wissenschaft" (Können wir die Erde künstlich kühlen?) and in: "Warum künstliche Klimakühlung dringend besser erforscht werden muss" (May)
Interview for n1info.si on clouds, climate, weather modification, and geoengineering (in Slovenian)
(Skrinjica geoinženiringa je že odprta) (Feb)
A brochure "WTF is Climate Change?!" dedicated particularly to youth and educators I helped draft is available in English, Slovenian, and Hungarian and accessible here.
About me
What's new?
I'm a cloud and climate scientist, working in the climate dynamics group at the University of Vienna led by Aiko Voigt. I focus on the intersection of cloud (micro)physics and climate, investigating the formation and dissipation of high clouds and their potential changes with warming. My recent work has contributed to a deeper comprehension of the interaction between radiative and microphysical feedbacks in tropical anvil clouds. I also spent a large part of my PhD studying controversial ideas of artificially modifying cirrus clouds to partially counteract global warming, utilizing climate model simulations.
I have been interested in the physical processes surrounding me since my childhood on the Slovenian coast. When I was nine, I started measuring precipitation and became more interested in systematic observations of weather phenomena. During high school, my awareness of climate change increased and I became involved in a youth association that focused mainly on peer education of young people. Through this involvement, I helped set up an educational program on climate change and sustainable development.
