Summary
Renée Hansen is a postdoctoral researcher with eight years of experience specializing in remote sensing and Earth observation of the cryosphere, particularly Arctic and Antarctic sea ice. She combines expertise in laser and radar altimetry with hands-on field and satellite work, having contributed to studies using ICESat-2 and AltiKa Ka-band waveform analysis. Renée has held research positions across DTU Space, NTNU and UNIS, completed traineeship work at ESA, and will continue her polar research at the University of Calgary. Her background in Nordic cold-climate engineering and a track record of presenting novel discrimination methods for sea ice types reflect a practical blend of instrumentation, data analysis and operational space knowledge. Less obvious: she has balanced advanced satellite altimetry research with applied mapping projects for Greenland and municipal geospatial systems, showing both academic depth and real-world geodesy experience.
