Hi, it's me Sjur

I am a developer, climber and glaciologist

About Me

Hi, my name is Sjur and I'm a programmer, teacher, geologist and glaciologist. Currently, I'm writing a paper on ice sheet modelling. I like meeting new people, learning new things and I have a number of varying interest. As a hobby photographer I have learnt to develop my own film, and I have documented my field work and other travels. I also really enjoy filmmaking and editing. I often work on my own projects, coding on small games or app ideas.

After a bachellor in Computer Engineering, I wanted to work, climb and travel before continuing my studies. And that's excactly what I did. In 2018 I took the bullet train around China, camped in the bushes of Eastern Australia and bouldered for a few months in Rocklands, South Africa. When I returned I started a five year combined masters program in geology, mathematics and teaching. My programming background gave me an advantage in several aspects of the program, and I eventually chose a thesis project with programming in focus: Numerical modelling of ice sheet movement.

Skills

QGIS/ARCGIS

I very much enjoy working with GIS, processing data and making maps and figures. Take a look at my master thesis for some example figures i have created.

Numerical Modelling

My master thesis concerned the flow of ice over a deep fjord, Numerical Modelling was the main applied method. I have also worked with other minor modelling projects in different programming languages.

Creativity

I consider myself a creative person and I like poetry, writing and making music. Take a look at my personal projects for a few digital examples.

Flexibility and Outdoors

Flexible on work location and work environment. I have a knack for hiking, camping and many different sports.

Code

I have experience with Python, Matlab, C++, C#, Java, Fortran, and more.

Linux

Plenty of work done with shell scripting.
