Firn Stratigraphy

Firn Stratigraphy is the systematic study and vertical arrangement of layers within firn, distinguished by variations in density, grain size, isotopic composition, and other physical properties, that enables the interpretation of past climatic and depositional conditions in polar and glacial environments.
