A. Chakraborty The Deluge Stephen Markley (2/5) - terrible book to read while writing a thesis on glaciers and ice sheets; resented how he portrays the life of scientists; the desperation and movements feel relatively fully realized, but odd how little of the rest of the world plays into the book. i wouldn’t read it again, or necessarily recommend it. but a useful work of climate fiction. February ︎Translation State Ann Leckie ︎Ancillary Mercy&nbsp;Ann Leckie American War Omar El Akkad (3.5/5) - while the future itself feels unlikely, the characters and focus is brutal and thorough, chilling and fully humanized&nbsp; March Martyr! Kaveh Akbar (2/5) - sort of a quintissential first novel, some gorgeous language, a few thouroughly realized characters, but stilted in its portrayal of parenthood, and many times the characterization felt awkward through a sort of arbitrary addition of traits, stated but never played out, or added to make the character seem more interesting. kind of a predictable plot. loved the last chapter, and want to know when in the process it was written. The Left Hand of Darkness Ursula K. Le Guin (4/5) - second or third time reading, that, along with moving to the Netherlands as an immigrant and watching Shogun, make for an incredible reflection on identity, alienation, assimilation, language and translation, love, and culture April The Tale of Genji Murasaki Shikibu (4/5) - the abridged version, translated by Edward Seidensticker May Frogs Mo Yan (4/5) Windup Girl - Paolo Bacigalupi (3/5) when I sing, mountains dance Irene Solá (5/5) JuneGiovanni’s Room James Baldwin (3/5) JulyThe Door - Magda Szabao (4/5)Essays II - Lydia Davis ︎Miracle of Mindfulness Thích Nhất Hạnh (5/5) August Circe Madeline Miller (3/5)Maus Art Spiegelman (4/5) Man’s Search for Meaning - Viktor Frankl (5/5) SeptemberGreek Lessons Han Kang (?/5) https://elizabethcase.space/2023-Reading-List Sun, 11 Jun 2023 03:19:58 +0000 Elizabeth Case https://elizabethcase.space/2023-Reading-List 2023 Reading List January Pegasus in Flight Anne Mcaffery&nbsp;(0/5) - what a waste Spirit and Stone Marion Boatwright&nbsp;(3/5) Fevered Star Rebecca Roanhorse (2/5) February The View From the Seventh Layer&nbsp;Kevin Brockmeier (3/5)&nbsp; Babel RF Kuang&nbsp;(4/5) How to Loiter in a Turf War Coco Solid&nbsp;(4/5) March Story of a Brief Marriage Anuk Arudpragasm&nbsp;(5/5) The Unbroken CL Clark&nbsp;(3/5) The Great Derangement Amitav Ghosh&nbsp;(3/5) Amsterdam: A History of the World’s Most Liberal City Russell Shorto&nbsp;(3/5) April A Closed and Common Orbit Becky Chambers&nbsp;(3/5)&nbsp; To Be Taught, if Fortunate Becky Chambers&nbsp;(4/5) May Calamaties Renee Gladman&nbsp;(4/5) - whew !!&nbsp; Ordinairy Notes Christina Sharpe&nbsp;(4/5) - *and* the formatting *chef’s kiss* June Akata Warrior Nnedi Okorafor&nbsp;(3/5) My Volcano John Elizabeth Stintzi&nbsp;(2/5 with a few sections of 4/5) July The Wind’s Twelve Quarters Ursula K.

Her characters are seamless. everyone’s motivations as clear or as opaque as any living person, always with a reason or a context. I felt Sonia was sold a little short in the telling and could have been given more depth without taking up more space. Lessons in Chemistry Bonnie Garmus&nbsp;(1.5/5) - just... so over the top... kept being taken out of time by conversations and word choice... clear the author didn’t have any sense of what scientific research actually entailed... a quick read but also could have been cut by a third and tightened significantly Nona the Ninth Tasmyn Muir&nbsp;(4/5) - this way exceeded my expectations. loved the worldbuilding. masterfully done ‘amnesia’. I loved Nona’s point of view and Muir’s description of her innocence and love without any pedantry, pity, or simpleness. john’s dreams were a little over the top for me.&nbsp;October The Hurricane Wars&nbsp;Thea Guanzon&nbsp;(2/5) - needed a fun, easy read for my honeymoon. this fit the bill! a debut for sure - lots to tighten - but fun world building︎Agency William Gibson (2/5) - just a redux of the Peripheral Camp Zero&nbsp;Michelle Min Sterling&nbsp;(2/5) - there seems to be this trend in cli-fi right now where novels don’t get the editing they need. This includes poorly researched descriptions of science-related topics—e.g., the meteorologist gets a message titled “Absolute Zero” and makes a big deal of how that term is only used by other meteorologists, even though Kelvin is used across most scientific disciplines. The haracters felt loose, the structure felt haphazard. It’s a bummer! Camp Zero had an interesting premise and some exciting points of view; with more editing, it could have been fantastic, instead, it was middling and disengaged. November ︎Old Path White Clouds Thich Nhat Hanh&nbsp;- I listened to this over the course of many months, on late night walks with my dog. I finished it just after she passed. No way to rate this, really. Peaceful and meditative, this relates the mostly mytholigized life of the Buddha, teaching, of course, as he livesSatanic Verses&nbsp;Salman Rushdie&nbsp;(5/5) - immediately began rereading it, perhaps a first, here are some useful notes to have alongside. December Snake Agent&nbsp;Liz Williams (2/5) - read while isolating wtih Covid. superb world building and fun heaven/earth/hell relations! everything else was just okayAnicllary Justice&nbsp;Ann Leckie&nbsp;(4/5) - a political and nuanced work of science fiction that takes place mostly internaly and through the memories of an AI locked into a single body.

As a glaciologist, I study how ice forms, flows2, and disappears3 using radar, satellites, computational models, and historical records. As an artist and writer, I am interested in how intra-action and diffraction—the reading and doing of disciplines through each other—prompts different lines of understanding, connection, or response than their doing alone. I am motivated by a deep conviction that holistic intra-engagement between the arts, humanities, social sciences, and physical sciences is required to respond to the hyper-faceted crises of our time.I am currently a postodoctoral researcher at IMAU (Utrecht University) in the Netherlands. A copy of my PhD thesis, Ice Formation, Deformation, and Disappearance, can be found here. I have worked on and with glaciers in Alaska, Wyoming, and Antarctica.I write a newsletter called Process Pending about art-science, academia, &amp; glaciology and co-founded an art-science collaboration called Glacial Hauntologies. I am actively seeking further scientific and artistic collaborations that work to dissolve boundaries between disciplines. If you’re looking for an expert on glaciers, polar-related climate-crisis impacts, or scientific context for art related to ice, I am available for freelance work in Europe and the U.S. I have advised on glacier-related short films, reviewed books related to Antarctica, and written essays for polar-related art exhibitions. My CV can be found here.

Antarctica’s most rapidly changing glaciers, losing mass (ice) at a rate of ~50 gigatons per year. In 2017, the International Thwaites Glacier Consortium began, bringing together 8 project teams across disciplines and countries to study the past, present, and future of this region. In 2022-2023, as part of the G.H.O.S.T. team, I took ~250 phase-sensitive radar (ApRES) measurements along a 200 km transect running up the center of Thwaites. Over the course of 11 working days, we traveled by pisten bully and skidoo upglacier to obtain point and polarmetric ApRES measurements. Collaborators: Andrew Hoffman, Knut Christianson, Florian Koch, Ole Zeising, Catrin Thomas, Peter Young, Dave Jamison, Louise Borthwick, Rebecca Pearce, Jonny Kingslake, and the rest of the G.H.O.S.T. team <img width="691" height="66" width_o="691" height_o="66" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6ab5deffadc693dc5b0dd71a3c78332dad301aca5a1dc70679ca493ee905b5de/apres-diagram.png" data-mid="181255554" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/691/i/6ab5deffadc693dc5b0dd71a3c78332dad301aca5a1dc70679ca493ee905b5de/apres-diagram.png" /><img width="874" height="179" width_o="874" height_o="179" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/246bbb0ab68d033e87914300eff86a15d7e11b4c49770c589900454f4fe69af3/apres-diagram-top.png" data-mid="181255555" border="0" data-scale="85" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/874/i/246bbb0ab68d033e87914300eff86a15d7e11b4c49770c589900454f4fe69af3/apres-diagram-top.png" /> Point measurements, repeated from one year to the next, allow us to calculate the englacial strain rate. The englacial strain rate tells us how the glacier is stretching or squashing in the vertical, which gives us some information about how it is responding to stresses like bed topography. We will repeat the first season’s point measurements in 2023-2024. <img width="497" height="387" width_o="497" height_o="387" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2ec9ca6bbd3cfa067f26ea0f0a0d35aa1c3875ed35354e85c20feb327252430d/apres-polarmetric.png" data-mid="181255558" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/497/i/2ec9ca6bbd3cfa067f26ea0f0a0d35aa1c3875ed35354e85c20feb327252430d/apres-polarmetric.png" /> Polarmetric measurements show us the ice fabric. A glacier is made up of ice crystals, water molecules frozen into a hexagonal crystal lattice. As the glacier undergoes various stresses - gravity pulling it down, snow falling on top - the ice crystals rotate in response. The bulk orientation of these ice crystals is called the ice fabric. The ice fabric records the history of stress undergone by the ice, and affects the ice’s current visocsity (how easily it flows given a force in a particular direction) and permittivity (how easily the ice allows radio waves to pass). By turning the antennas to send out polarized waves along orthogonal planes, we can reconstruct the ice fabric, which we can use to inform glacier models. <img width="687" height="264" width_o="687" height_o="264" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b1586915c35b26ac277dc21a1725b2dd83f2559364ad6307d5e5677fc950852b/apres-continuous.png" data-mid="181255553" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/687/i/b1586915c35b26ac277dc21a1725b2dd83f2559364ad6307d5e5677fc950852b/apres-continuous.png" /> Continuous measurements require the ApRES to be left for extended periods, and allow us to measure how englacial strain rates (including firn densification) and subglacial conditions change over time.&nbsp; In collaboration with Knut Christianson and Andrew Hoffman, we buried two ApRES over Subglacial Lake 142 and a third at Lower Thwaites Camp, and will collect them in the 2023-24 season. <img width="3520" height="2344" width_o="3520" height_o="2344" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/afa7481ad08d293d812f8faf590198232068d39630a3bf445881332893ef13ed/ECH_florian_apre8-ole-zeisung-small.png" data-mid="181255674" border="0" alt="Florian Koch and I set up an ApRES near Upper Thwaites Camp in Dec 2022." data-caption="Florian Koch and I set up an ApRES near Upper Thwaites Camp in Dec 2022." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/afa7481ad08d293d812f8faf590198232068d39630a3bf445881332893ef13ed/ECH_florian_apre8-ole-zeisung-small.png" /> <img width="2170" height="1448" width_o="2170" height_o="1448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/390fc434e8487367a61e2256c4e4be0c52b943204a600cf499b61a5ba596a3a9/7837B3C7-5B40-40FD-90CD-9C4C6FA375CE_1_102_o.jpeg" data-mid="182483151" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/390fc434e8487367a61e2256c4e4be0c52b943204a600cf499b61a5ba596a3a9/7837B3C7-5B40-40FD-90CD-9C4C6FA375CE_1_102_o.jpeg" /> <img width="2002" height="1502" width_o="2002" height_o="1502" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d6919baf0565d05600b38fe9c479f65e914ce1d3841bd0fb27a817356d416f54/apres-skidoo.png" data-mid="181255559" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d6919baf0565d05600b38fe9c479f65e914ce1d3841bd0fb27a817356d416f54/apres-skidoo.png" /> <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fdb93cd215d57cd92e14f81a6d7f21f55b36f3c367cebde6b0f4b3a785c3fff2/E03FF356-7880-4EC5-BBC0-C08C8287A68B_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="181665106" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fdb93cd215d57cd92e14f81a6d7f21f55b36f3c367cebde6b0f4b3a785c3fff2/E03FF356-7880-4EC5-BBC0-C08C8287A68B_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="2170" height="1448" width_o="2170" height_o="1448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8bcb37c463e6716969c753a99c009bb12feb34e2c6b6aa7fed5bb885c0a14ad7/D1E0F177-6BD4-4D6F-9DDC-9094F07D3E41_1_102_o.jpeg" data-mid="182483140" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8bcb37c463e6716969c753a99c009bb12feb34e2c6b6aa7fed5bb885c0a14ad7/D1E0F177-6BD4-4D6F-9DDC-9094F07D3E41_1_102_o.jpeg" /> <img width="2170" height="1448" width_o="2170" height_o="1448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b6890b6f8e88bba985cd88f06390fc1f2d4e5d1d44afa541d5757715eff96c48/F95130A9-4D8A-48C9-873C-FF06E9C273E4_1_102_o.jpeg" data-mid="182483138" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b6890b6f8e88bba985cd88f06390fc1f2d4e5d1d44afa541d5757715eff96c48/F95130A9-4D8A-48C9-873C-FF06E9C273E4_1_102_o.jpeg" /> <img width="2170" height="1448" width_o="2170" height_o="1448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cc1177afca79bfc9d1700490b2107f335d5c9af93e75a27065343c17ad5d9de5/3443140A-2054-472D-A633-CA2C082B1A72_1_102_o.jpeg" data-mid="182483139" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cc1177afca79bfc9d1700490b2107f335d5c9af93e75a27065343c17ad5d9de5/3443140A-2054-472D-A633-CA2C082B1A72_1_102_o.jpeg" /> <img width="1086" height="725" width_o="1086" height_o="725" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d7d35a62282cef56322a115c067db1ce16437d0ebb0f151dcf66a39530dd8202/C57AAFF8-85CA-418C-98F2-81D8F785DFFF_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="182483149" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d7d35a62282cef56322a115c067db1ce16437d0ebb0f151dcf66a39530dd8202/C57AAFF8-85CA-418C-98F2-81D8F785DFFF_1_105_c.jpeg" /> https://elizabethcase.space/Glacial-Change-in-Grand-Teton-National-Park Tue, 07 Feb 2023 03:33:02 +0000 Elizabeth Case https://elizabethcase.space/Glacial-Change-in-Grand-Teton-National-Park Glacial Change in Grand Teton National Park <img width="768" height="1024" width_o="768" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/430752e3e6bf5cac4618a9048c889cea3e05a156411689f077185231d2c8d116/2F1A69D2-185E-4D79-A8D8-EE494A9BE573_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="181631766" border="0" data-scale="85" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/768/i/430752e3e6bf5cac4618a9048c889cea3e05a156411689f077185231d2c8d116/2F1A69D2-185E-4D79-A8D8-EE494A9BE573_1_105_c.jpeg" /> In northwestern Wyoming, the Grand Teton mountain range rises majestically out of Jackson Valley. Its iconic landscape of jagged peaks and gentle valleys has been sculpted by glaciers over hundreds of thousands of years. I fell in love with the Tetons when we arrived there by bicycle as part of the 2015 cross-country Cycle for Science tour. In 2021, I burned out from the pandemic and my Ph.D., I took six months off to work as a Scientist-in-Parks fellow.&nbsp; That summer, I joined the physical science team and traveled throughout the park, studying the glaciers and downstream water quality through a ground-based monitoring program. This work was eventually folded into my Ph.D., and using in situ data collected by the park, historical imagery, LIDAR, and modeling, I examine deglaciation in the Teton range since the Little Ice Age. Teton’s thirteen glaciers are all in decline, rapidly melting and out of equilibrium. Since 1967, the park has lost 58% of its glacier ice extent, and two glaciers (Petersen and Teepe) have almost entirely disappeared. <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6f444e54b55f6c61db3cf1a8dd6bd0bbbd94f1eaae827dd92f7af5a4dce157fd/E5C05466-BF81-4159-8F73-0D12FC4D3745_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="181631738" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6f444e54b55f6c61db3cf1a8dd6bd0bbbd94f1eaae827dd92f7af5a4dce157fd/E5C05466-BF81-4159-8F73-0D12FC4D3745_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7d6251e04ec55b701308492e299355f4249c90a6dee47605ee0129f88a510b00/F1942615-3266-433A-933E-5CF6FAD85D07_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="181631750" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7d6251e04ec55b701308492e299355f4249c90a6dee47605ee0129f88a510b00/F1942615-3266-433A-933E-5CF6FAD85D07_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="768" height="1024" width_o="768" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fc4056e33150c22465a488b3267addf39f20fabe21626581e32aafa8bf74fc88/C4FFFA33-023A-4AA7-8781-DE60C39E1E79_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="181631753" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/768/i/fc4056e33150c22465a488b3267addf39f20fabe21626581e32aafa8bf74fc88/C4FFFA33-023A-4AA7-8781-DE60C39E1E79_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fd77534cfad20cbb7d8cbf9b75fabd937b202f5926e70a98ef4e213ff3a48c59/03782B4C-AC5F-4618-9FD4-F9FE955D1C6D_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="181631759" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fd77534cfad20cbb7d8cbf9b75fabd937b202f5926e70a98ef4e213ff3a48c59/03782B4C-AC5F-4618-9FD4-F9FE955D1C6D_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0446d945ba23b2f3a59b63f6f46e13ae4eae6a1d705900620b8e77f88fa42a67/9183AB8A-10DC-49C8-A4EA-72923415EB27_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="181631758" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0446d945ba23b2f3a59b63f6f46e13ae4eae6a1d705900620b8e77f88fa42a67/9183AB8A-10DC-49C8-A4EA-72923415EB27_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3357a6a39049a5f31f06c80a3f5ae69afd91e88140d623196583f028b748fef7/EA8F21C7-839A-4488-9C68-8F6B435AB641_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="181631757" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3357a6a39049a5f31f06c80a3f5ae69afd91e88140d623196583f028b748fef7/EA8F21C7-839A-4488-9C68-8F6B435AB641_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="768" height="1024" width_o="768" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fe82712838a015ab2c2174d99ebbc37e0ce9e4f67a9211d473b8f32c489aeb8a/CC28D5D4-2C9F-4E21-9C69-3489E188F9BF_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="181631756" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/768/i/fe82712838a015ab2c2174d99ebbc37e0ce9e4f67a9211d473b8f32c489aeb8a/CC28D5D4-2C9F-4E21-9C69-3489E188F9BF_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5376b9f760a631c62db63e0ac27b507148f31c339a3cc54c7a5263a11a930ee1/4DEA89C1-E7BB-46B7-A24E-B1DF077D7D73_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="181631755" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5376b9f760a631c62db63e0ac27b507148f31c339a3cc54c7a5263a11a930ee1/4DEA89C1-E7BB-46B7-A24E-B1DF077D7D73_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="768" height="1024" width_o="768" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d2f6abd1e232621cf8ad27b34f4da7dd1e3c68872d44b117151505de63bbbdf3/F2F8C919-5916-426B-8CD8-8A976FC87A39_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="181631754" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/768/i/d2f6abd1e232621cf8ad27b34f4da7dd1e3c68872d44b117151505de63bbbdf3/F2F8C919-5916-426B-8CD8-8A976FC87A39_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b0455a4bb9fa257f58eac243ca24015e7b6d524e9b509a4909f0d69487141ff8/5B1331C3-8A41-42A9-8D54-E87FB0526ED7_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="181631751" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b0455a4bb9fa257f58eac243ca24015e7b6d524e9b509a4909f0d69487141ff8/5B1331C3-8A41-42A9-8D54-E87FB0526ED7_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fa725e57f3c5e070d61c3a836275cbafc0599a6159539ec9404a7c43c6d79c3e/235D92DF-3290-419D-9369-A4738D9794B2_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="181631752" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fa725e57f3c5e070d61c3a836275cbafc0599a6159539ec9404a7c43c6d79c3e/235D92DF-3290-419D-9369-A4738D9794B2_1_105_c.jpeg" /> https://elizabethcase.space/Firn-Densification Thu, 29 Sep 2022 17:19:03 +0000 Elizabeth Case https://elizabethcase.space/Firn-Densification Firn densification What is firn densification? Snow that accumulates and persists for more than one year becomes firn, which can eventually densifies into glacial ice. Think about a snowball you might make - fresh snow will fall apart before it hits your target, so you have to compress the snow with your hands to compact it into something that sticks together.&nbsp; Over time, a glacier does this to itself. As more snow accumulates, the weight of this snow presses down onto the old firn beneath it. The rate at which snow turns into glacial ice is called the densification rate, and we care about it for a few reasons.&nbsp;<img width="1743" height="798" width_o="1743" height_o="798" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bf880ba1f62a079408109562f03675546d6b11449200a30b2975db01680b824f/firn-densification-cores.png" data-mid="181669859" border="0" data-scale="62" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bf880ba1f62a079408109562f03675546d6b11449200a30b2975db01680b824f/firn-densification-cores.png" />︎︎︎ Paleoclimate records Firn is a porous material, meaning air can travel through connected pores between ice grains. Eventually, at depth, these pores close and the air becomes trapped in bubbles. Ice core scientists use the air in these bubbles to measure what the climate was like in the past. We need to know how long it took firn to densify to know how long that air mixed with the atmosphere. &nbsp; ︎︎︎ Satellite-measured alitmetry Satellites measure the change in height of the ice sheet over time. This is one way we know that some glaciers in Antarctica are thinning&nbsp; and losing mass. However, this change in height of the ice surface depends on many different processes. We have to account for all these in order to isolate the change due to ice thinning, and firn densification is one of them. If densification were in steady state and the same rate everywhere, we would know how to account for it. However, its dependence on accumulation rate, temperature, and grain size1, as well as wind, impurities, and water content, mean that densification rates vary in space and time. How do we measure firn densification? Firn densification can be measured with a variety of tools: strain gauges embedded into boreholes, gamma ray transmission, repeat measurements of optical stratigraphy, and phase-sensitive radars2, among others. My early Ph.D. work looked at the use of autonomous phse-sensitive radio echo sounders (ApRES) to measure firn densification. Using data collected over the Korff Ice Rise, Fletcher Promontory, and Skytrain Ice Rise, we removed the strain rate contribution of horizontal ice flow to isolate the vertical strain rate due to firn compaction.&nbsp; <img width="1600" height="1052" width_o="1600" height_o="1052" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/46c93f10ae67537d3ac8c327813a6b407bbe475fbb5b7f1d5c4b9d4632a57765/urn_cambridge.org_id_binary_20220113013051844-0733_S0022143021000836_S0022143021000836_fig2.png" data-mid="181670766" border="0" alt="Core observations, modeled velocity and densities, and Method 1 compaction velocities.
