That Alpine glaciers grew and subsequently receded again during the final phase of the so-called Little Ice Age was due to a natural process. This has now been proven by PSI researchers on the basis of ice cores. News 01.11.2022 Michelle Worek - welcome! A warm welcome to Michelle Worek, our new PhD student in the Laboratory of Environmental Chemistry. She will join the Analytical Chemistry group on 1 November 2022. 01.10.2022 Welcome Giovanni Baccolo We warmly welcome Giovanni Baccolo as Postdoc in the Laboratory of Environmental Chemistry. He joined the Analytical Chemistry group on 1 October 2022. 26.09.2022 Jérôme Gabathuler successfully defended – congratulations! On 26th September 2022 Jérôme Gabathuler successfully defended his PhD entitled “The thickness of the quasi-liquid layer on ice and its interaction with atmospheric gases as seen by X-ray absorption and photoelectron spectroscopies" at ETH Zürich.
