I am a Geography and Environmental Management PhD Student in the Faculty of Environment exploring the spread in Arctic soil temperature estimates among the most recent generation reanalysis and land data assimilation systems. I am interested in explaining the physical controls on soil temperatures in land surface models, and the importance of snow cover in determining the spread.
