Markus M. Frey

Markus Frey received the M.Sc. degree in hydrology from the Albert-Ludwigs Universität Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany, in 1999, and the Ph.D. degree in hydrology and atmospheric sciences from the University of Arizona, Tucson AZ, USA, in 2005. He joined the British Antarctic Survey in 2008 after working for CNRS at the Laboratoire de Glaciologie et Géophysique de l'Environnement in Grenoble/France (2006–2008). His research is about physical and chemical air-snow exchange processes to gain a better understanding of how snow and ice surfaces influence atmospheric composition and oxidation capacity, and ultimately climate, with a focus on tropospheric ozone, the nitrogen and sulfur cycle, halogen chemistry, as well as aerosol formation and growth. To date, he has lead and managed 14 atmospheric sampling and ice coring projects on expeditions to Antarctica, the Arctic and the Bolivian Andes, including two polar sea ice cruises during winter.
