From Dutch Short-Lived to Antarctic Long-Lived Stable Boundary Layers

Stable boundary layers (SBLs) are a common aspect of the earth’s atmosphere and are characterized by a stable density stratification in which the temperature increases with height. This typically occurs during the night, resulting in a short-lived stable boundary layer, or persistently throughout the polar winter, resulting in a longlived stable...

Separating glacial isostatic adjustment and ice-mass change signals in Antarctica using satellite data

The main goal of this thesis involves the development of a refined methodology to<br/>separate the mass change signals associated with glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA)<br/>from those of surface ice/firn by exploiting the strengths of independent data sets,<br/>such as those from gravimetry, altimetry, climate data, and others. To achieve this,...
