. Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change, 1(5), 654–669.
Abstract: Abstract Since the early 1960s, the ice core community has produced a wealth of scientific results from a still relatively limited number of deep drilling sites in Greenland and Antarctica with the longest record extending back to the last interglacial in Greenland and covering eight glacialinterglacial cycles in Antarctica. Although measurements performed on the first ice cores, Camp Century and Byrd, largely focused on the isotopic composition of the ice as an indicator of climate change, the number of studied parameters has steadily increased encompassing numerous measurements performed on the entrapped air bubbles, on various impurities as well as on the ice itself. The climatic information provided by these various paleodata time is extremely rich. The relationships between forcing factors and climate, about the importance of carbon cycle feedbacks, about the occurrence of abrupt climate variability, and about the interplay between polar climate, ice sheet dynamics, and sea-level variations are examples that are highly relevant to future climate change.

Abstract: Arctic snow cover dynamics offer a changing face in terms of temporal duration and water equivalent, due to recent climate change conditions (Callaghan et al., 2011; Lemke & Jacobi, 2012). Indeed, the Arctic is now experiencing some of the most rapid and severe climate change on earth. In this context, innovative and improved methods are helpful to enhance management of the snow-pack resource for climate research, hydrology and human activities. The characteristics of Arctic snow are different from “temperate” snow (i.e. the Alps), in terms of thickness, internal structure, thermal conductivity, and metamorphism. Ground observation often indicates wind slab at the snow surface, internal rounded grains, depth hoar at the bottom, and often internal ice layer or at the interface with ground surface (Dominé et al., 2016; Gallet et al., 2017, for spring snow). This work is part of the “Precip-A2” project (OSUG, Grenoble-France), focusing on snow and its interaction with the atmosphere, especially in terms of chemistry, radiative processes and precipitation. The application site is the Brøgger peninsula, focused on Ny-Ålesund area, Svalbard, Norway (N 78°55’ / E 11° 55’). One sub-task of the Precip-A2 project is dedicated to X-band radar measurements (ground and spaceborne) to retrieve physical properties of arctic snow.
