Julienne Christine Stroeve is a polar climate scientist known for her research on remote sensing of ice and snow.
She is Professor of Polar Observation & Modelling at the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling, University College London, Senior Canada-150 Research Chair in Climate Forcing of Sea Ice at the University of Manitoba, and a senior research scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center within the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES).
[8] She has also written about the current trend and future predictions of "darkening", or a reduction in albedo, of the Greenland ice sheet through an increase in the snow grain size, impurity content of snow, biological activity, exposure of bare ice, formation of melt pools, and the feedbacks associated with these factors.
[9] Julienne Stroeve was aboard the RV Polarstern in mid-winter 2019–2020 during the MOSAiC Expedition, where she conducted experiments to assess the accuracy of satellite radar systems used to map sea-ice thickness.
[10] Professor Stroeve was awarded the EGU 2020 Julia and Johannes Weertman Medal, for her 'fundamental contributions to improved satellite observations of sea ice, better understanding of causes of sea ice variability and change, and her compelling communication to the wider public'.
