Exciting projects to learn the world
Projects
Climate Change Attribution
Using different approaches we quantify how much of extreme events occur due to climate change and what are their impacts on the Antarctic cryosphere.
Snow Shifts
Observing and predicting non-linear changes of snow in mountain and polar regions of the world
MICROAIRPOLAR
The main goal is to establish the dispersal capability of microorganisms in the Antarctic Continent and thus explain the biogeography of Antarctic organisms in a climate change scenario, in which the deglaciation processes are triggering that substrates ice covered for several thousands of years remain exposed to the new-comers.
PEA Tall Tower
Installation of instruments in a Tall Tower in Antarctica to obtain accurate vertical profiles of blowing snow and the associated heat flux dynamics, which are needed to refine and improve model predictions of the Antarctic Ice Sheet surface mass balance.
M-AWS
A Mobile-Automatic Weather Station (M-AWS) was installed on an eco-vehicle and scientific platform that will move across the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. It provided meteorological observations of the surface conditions in a transect across the less explored areas of Antarctica that will be used for verification of the numerical weather models and analyses across a wide range of altitude.
ATMOUNT
Analyzing ATmosphere-surface interactions in MOUNTain areas for improved understanding of global change impacts III: Gravity waves, orographic precipitation and related processes in mountain areas
