Project description

The IceFlow BEDROCK research program is a 2 year continuation of the Villum Investigator project IceFlow. IceFlow BEDROCK will:

  1. Compensate for the two years delay of IceFlow due to the COVID close-down of the EGRIP deep drilling programs preventing us from obtaining the needed ice core and doing the field related research
  2. Add research on the influence of anisotropic ice deformation on the ice streams and their contribution to sea level rise.
  3. Understand the small scale folds of the ice near the bedrock and the development of large-scale folds.
