New Insights On The Snow Cover: From Snowflakes To Ice Sheets, In Seconds To Centuries.
Examining Snow Evolution Provides An Understanding Of Glacier, Ice Sheets, And Climatesnow Is A Pillar Of The Earth’S Climate System, Affecting All Its Components With Critical Impacts For Nature And Human Societies. Current Snow Models Examine A Limited Number Of Physical Processes, And None Of Them Adequately Takes Snow Microstructures Into Account. The Eu-Funded Ivori Project Will Build A Microstructure-Based Model Encompassing All The Relevant Snow And Firn Physical Variables. The Model Will Provide A Reliable Assessment Of Snow-Climate Feedbacks In A Changing Climate And A Rigorous Appraisal Of The Modelling Uncertainties. When Completed, This Work Will Pave The Way For Crucial Advances In Our Understanding Of Glaciers, Ice Sheets And Past Climate Through Ice Core Records, In Addition To Providing Insight Into Sea Ice And Permafrost Evolution.
