Unfortunately, direct density measurements require firn cores, which are expensive and spatially sparse. Radar observations offer the possibility of estimating firn density over much larger areas.</p> https://www.glaciology.net/studentproject/2024/catalinalake/ Sun, 17 Nov 2024 04:28:00 +0000 https://www.glaciology.net/studentproject/2024/catalinalake/ <p>Catalina Lake is a gigantic ice-dammed lake on the Renland Peninsula in East Greenland, blocked by Edward Bailey Glacier. Roughly every two decades, the glacier dam fails and billions of tonnes of freshwater are released into Scoresby Sund.</p>
