Staying with #Snow but moving to #Antarctica - cool work on the importance of snow #accumulation for #IceShelf mass budget + viability from Melchior van Wessem + colleagues at #UtrechtUniversity #IMAU
I've long been convinced the #SMB + #glaciology communities have ignored #precipitation in favour of melt (they're both important - but precip variability can also enhance #ice loss).
This is a #preprint, but super interesting
