Instruments in extreme conditions

Is it possible to obtain long term observations for such dynamic environments such as a glacier tongue? Instruments enduring these extreme conditions exist, but require not-easy maintenance...

Subglacial Melt Water Plumes

The second phase of GROCE continues to bring new insights into climate relevant processes happening in cavities hidden below marine terminating glaciers.

Our colleagues Hans Burchard and Markus Reinert explain what their very-high resolution model can see under the glacier tongue.

Thorben Döhne - how to observe changes in Greenland ice mass from up above. 

Can we "see" changes in Greenland ice mass from above? Yes! Thorben Döhne tells us about special satellites which can "sense" variations in the ice sheet mass, and what are the technical challenges to using observations from these satellites.

Malena Andernach - a fresh start towards better understanding of causes and effects of climate change!

Malena has just completed her master thesis in the framework of GROCE, studying what is the contribution of Arctic clouds to the surface energy budget and to surface melting. Now she will move to a lower altitude, and start a PhD  on the stability of the Greenland Ice Sheet... good luck!
