Project description
AIR – Antarctic Imagery Resurfaced
A project on how historical images from Antarctica can help us predict and understand future sea-level rise. The Antarctic Ice Sheet has just recently become unstable, but we know very little of its historical dynamic behavior. This project has resurfaced thousands of historical aerial and satellite images, and will, with the recruitment of two PhD-students and two Postdocs, reveal Antarctica’s past dynamic behavior and enable us to better understand and predict its future.
