Making progress

Jan and the team are making large progress. The iWS weather station has been installed successfully and five firn cores have been drilled. Two more to go! In the meanwhile Frank Pattyn and his team have scanned during two days nearby transects with their radar. The team is very happy with the progress.

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.
