The Balzan Ice Modelling Study

The project will employ two postdocs to study ice cores from ice caps near the Arctic Ocean to retrieve proxy records of past ice and climatic conditions. Younger researchers will also engage in workshops and excursions to assess existing data, test glacier models, and formulate a modeling strategy.
