Corripio, Javier, Dr.

Research Interests

glacier energy balance, glacio-meteorology, mountains and mountain glaciers, climatic change in high altitude regions, water resources from glacierised catchments, remote sensing of snow and glaciers,
mountain photography, telemark, or in LaChapelle's words a keen interest on the psycho-rheology of human snow layers interaction
