Firn Physics

Firn Physics is a subdiscipline of snow physics that specifically studies the physical properties, metamorphism, and densification processes of firn—the transitional stage between snow and glacial ice—as it undergoes compaction and recrystallization in polar and high-altitude ice accumulation zones.
