Jakob Schwander is affiliated with the University of Bern in Switzerland and specializes in Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a primary focus on Atmospheric Science. Their research encompasses topics such as cryospheric studies and observations, geology and paleoclimatology research, climate change and permafrost, smart materials for construction, and methane hydrates and related phenomena.

Schwander has contributed to several recent scientific publications, including:

  • Antarctic surface temperature and elevation during the Last Glacial Maximum (2021, Science)
  • Progress of the RADIX (Rapid Access Drilling and Ice eXtraction) fast-access drilling system (2023, The Cryosphere)
  • Ice-core data used for the construction of the Greenland Ice-Core Chronology 2005 and 2021 (GICC05 and GICC21) (2023, Earth System Science Data)
  • Seasonal variations of isotope ratios and CO2 concentrations in firn air (2022, Bern Open Repository and Information System (University of Bern))
  • Brief communication: RADIX (Rapid Access Drilling and Ice eXtraction) dust logger test in the EastGRIP (East Greenland Ice-core Project) hole (2024, The Cryosphere)

Their frequent coauthors include Kenji Kawamura, Hideaki Motoyama, Dorthe Dahl-Jensen, Anders Svensson, and Thomas F. Stocker.

Jakob Schwander has published extensively in venues such as The Cryosphere, Annals of Glaciology, Science, Earth System Science Data, and the Bern Open Repository and Information System (University of Bern).

The body of work by Schwander is predominantly situated within cryospheric and atmospheric sciences, focusing on ice core data analysis, paleoclimate reconstructions, and the development of advanced drilling technologies like RADIX. This technology aims to facilitate rapid access to ice cores, enabling improved research on climate history and permafrost conditions.
