I have been involved in teaching aspects of sea ice remote sensing for several years.
With respect to project work I have been involved into ESA's Climate Change Initiative sea ice ECV project for several years; currently I am also participating in the ESA SIN'XS project.
With respect to organisations I can call myself "WMO sea ice expert", am member of WMO Global Cryosphere Watch team and am involved in the CRYORA intiative.
