Overview

Bert Wouters is affiliated with Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Their research primarily focuses on Earth and Planetary Sciences, with strong specialization in Atmospheric Science as a subfield. Their work also touches on Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law, Oceanography, and Global and Planetary Change.

Their publication record includes over a hundred papers addressing topics central to cryospheric studies and observations, as well as climate change and permafrost. Other key research topics include Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics, winter sports injuries and performance, landslides and related hazards, geophysics and gravity measurements, and geology and paleoclimatology research.

Wouters frequently publishes in several scientific venues. These include Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), The Cryosphere, Nature Climate Change, Nature Communications, and Geophysical Research Letters.

Notable recent papers coauthored by Bert Wouters are:

  • Dynamic ice loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet driven by sustained glacier retreat (2020, Communications Earth & Environment)
  • Return to rapid ice loss in Greenland and record loss in 2019 detected by the GRACE-FO satellites (2020, Communications Earth & Environment)
  • Damage accelerates ice shelf instability and mass loss in Amundsen Sea Embayment (2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • GrSMBMIP: intercomparison of the modelled 1980-2012 surface mass balance over the Greenland Ice Sheet (2020, The Cryosphere)
  • Mass balance of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets from 1992 to 2020 (2023, Earth system science data)

The scientist collaborates regularly with a core group of coauthors including Stef Lhermitte, M. R. van den Broeke, Brice Noël, Xavier Fettweis, and Sophie de Roda Husman. These collaborations reflect sustained engagement with experts in glaciology, climate modeling, and related fields.
