A prominent Swiss-American glaciologist specialising in climate change has died in an accident in Greenland, his research institute said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Konrad Steffen, director of the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL), was reported missing on Saturday and is believed to have fallen into a crevasse.<\/p>\n

“His loss is very profound,” Christoph Hegg, Deputy Director of WSL, told AFP.
\n“He was very much involved in the IPCC chapters on ice and oceans. There he was one of the leading scientists in his field,” Hegg added.
\nAfter going missing on Saturday, police initiated a search operation and on Sunday found evidence that the 68-year-old researcher had suffered a fatal accident.
\n“We have found signs that the person fell through a crack in the glacier,” police spokesman Brian Thomsen told local news<\/a>paper Sermitsiaq.
\n“An accident has probably occurred and it is highly probable that the person in question has passed away,” Thomsen added.
\nThe search near Ilulissat in southwest Greenland was then abandoned, without the body being found.
\nThe accident occurred a mere 100 metres from the camp\u2014dubbed the “Swiss Camp”\u2014where Steffen was staying, according to a Twitter<\/a> post by fellow scientist Kathy Riklin, who said it seemed a snow bridge had collapsed under him.
\nIn Greenland, Steffen, assisted by NASA and the US National Science<\/a> Foundation, had been building a network of automatic weather stations since 1990.
\nAt the time of the accident he was doing maintenance on these stations, according to Hegg.
\nDuring his annual expeditions, he and his teams would examine the Arctic snowpack in particular.<\/p>\n
