Armin Sigmund Condutcs Fieldwork for the EPFL-CRYOS “From Clouds to Ground” Project
During the 2020-2021 season, Armin Sigmund, a PhD student from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) CRYOS Lab, contucted fieldwork for the From Clouds to Ground: Snow Deposition in Extreme Environment project. The CRYOS Lab's work aims to better understand the processes that influence surface mass balance (SMB) of the ice sheet in East Antarctica.
