Project Details Project Duration: 2022 - 2024 Project Partners: University of [...]
Southern Ocean – Ice Shelf Interaction
sophiedubber2022-10-14T16:33:07+01:00SO-ICE Project Description The Southern Ocean - Ice Shelf Interactions (SO-ICE) is a collaborative research project that aims to improve understanding of the processes controlling ice-ocean interactions in Antarctica. It brings together the ESA Polar+ Ice Shelves and 4D Antarctica projects, as well as the European Commission Southern Ocean Carbon and Heat Impact on [...]
Polar+ Ice Shelves
Julia Bizon2022-10-14T16:36:11+01:00Polar+ Ice Shelves Project Description The Polar+ Ice Shelves project aims to produce a suite of Earth Observation datasets to characterise how ice shelves in Antarctica have changed over the last decade and to make use of these data sets to investigate the physical processes driving this evolution. This is done by exploiting [...]
4D Greenland
Julia Bizon2020-12-28T17:33:12+00:004D Greenland Project Description The 4D Greenland project aims to perform an integrated assessment of Greenland’s hydrology through maximizing the use of Earth Observation data. This is done through quantification of the major components of Greenland’s hydrological system and their interconnections: surface melt processes, supraglacial dynamics, and subglacial melt, storage, and drainage. The [...]
Digital Twin Antarctica
Julia Bizon2020-12-29T10:22:28+00:00Digital Twin Antarctica Project Description The Digital Twin Antarctica project aims to generate an advanced dynamic reconstruction of Antarctica’s hydrology, interaction with ocean and atmosphere, to be used by stakeholders such as decision makers, agencies, managers, scientists, and engaged citizens. The objective is to combine Earth Observation, ice-sheet-ocean-atmosphere simulation, and advanced machine learning [...]
4DAntarctica
Alex Horton2020-12-22T08:40:34+00:004D Antarctica Project Description The 4DAntarctica project aims to advance the understanding of the Antarctic Ice Sheet’s supra and sub-glacial hydrology, its evolution, and its role within the broader ice sheet and ocean systems. The project addressed the following specific objectives: Creating and consolidating an unprecedented dataset composed of ice-sheet wide hydrology and [...]
