A cold laboratory hyperspectral imaging system to map grain size and ice layer distributions in firn cores

<p>The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are covered in a layer of porous firn. Knowledge of firn structure improves our understanding of ice sheet mass balance, supra- and englacial hydrology, and ice core paleoclimate records. While macroscale firn properties, such as firn density, are rela...
