Ice Sheet Albedo

glaciology
curriculum

 

Context: This learning activity could be used in remote sensing or courses on the cryosphere. Students require background knowledge in glaciology and ice sheet dynamics. 

 

By Aakriti Srivastava, PhD candidate, Barkatullah University

In this lesson, students observe spatio-temporal albedo trends in the Greenland ice sheet. Students will understand regional-scale processes and atmospheric-oceanic forcings play a significant role in the ice sheet albedo variation.
