First snow storm

Apparently Jan and the team are facing an intense snow storm at the moment near the Derwael ice rise, which has caused some damage and has delayed the scientific work. Luckily, everybody is OK and with high morale.

Who are we?

Jan Lenaerts is a postdoctoral researcher at IMAU, Utrecht University. He was awarded the IBLAF Antarctica fellowship 2014-2016. He is the principal investigator and is responsible for management of this project. He is interested in the observations to improve his climate model for better simulations of East Antarctic ice shelf melt.

Stef Lhermitte is a postdoctoral researcher at the Regional Climate Studies group from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. He specialises in remote sensing products, and will use these observations for validating satellite products of snow albedo and surface melt.

Mark Eijkelboom is a technician at IMAU, Utrecht University and makes sure that the instruments are working well. Michiel van den Broeke and Nicole van Lipzig provide scientific support for this project.
