Firn Layering

Firn Layering is a stratigraphic structure formed within the porous, intermediate stage of snow metamorphism and densification into glacial ice, distinguished by the vertical differentiation of snow and ice layers based on variations in grain size, density, and age resulting from seasonal accumulation and metamorphic processes.
