JEWELS OF THE SKY

Norbert Span studied meteorology, glaciology and astronomy in Innsbruck. Ice and glaciers were also the main topics of his master thesis. After completing his doctorate, he worked as a research assistant at the Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics at the University of Innsbruck.
