Herman Fuglestvedts poster is within the subject field 'Atmospheric Sciences'.  Fuglestvedt's research focuses on understanding how stratospheric aerosols and atmospheric composition evolve after large volcanic eruptions at high latitudes.

He combines Earth System modelling with proxy records to study both past and hypothetical high-latitude eruptions and their effects on the climate and environment.

In his EGU 2023 presentation, Herman used idealised aerosol-climate model experiments to show how the Arctic polar vortex plays a crucial role in the formation and growth of aerosols after large releases of sulphur dioxide in the high-latitude Northern Hemisphere.

Herman Fuglestvedt is a researcher at Department of Geosciences, The Section for Meteorology and Oceanography (MetOs) and affiliated to the research project Volcanic Eruptions and their Impacts on Climate, Environment, and Viking Society in 500–1250 CE (VIKINGS)

Well done, Herman, on this impressive achievement!
