Andreas Vieli is a Professor at the University of Zurich, where he leads the Glaciology Geomorphodynamics Group. He specializes in glacier dynamics, focusing on dynamic processes such as calving and interactions between ice sheets and the ocean. He obtained his Diploma in Physics from the ETH Zurich in 1997 and completed his PhD in Natural Sciences at the same institution in 2001. Following his doctoral studies, he worked as a Postdoctoral researcher at the School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol, UK, from 2001 to 2005, before taking on a lecturer position at Durham University, UK, from 2005 to 2013. Since 2013, he has been a chair in Glaciology at the University of Zurich, advancing research in the transient dynamics and evolution of debris-covered glaciers, employing a combination of field studies, remote sensing, and modeling approaches. His collaborative projects include the GLAMOS Swiss Glacier Monitoring Network and the PERMOS Swiss Monitoring Network for Permafrost, showcasing his commitment to advancing the understanding of climate impacts on glacier and permafrost systems.
