Modelling Snowdrifts on a Glacier

Climate change makes it particularly important to take a close look at the processes producing changes in glacier landscapes. For this purpose, a research group in Innsbruck is developing new, high-resolution models which enable them to form a detailed understanding of the changes in these ice giants.
