Our Projects

Our Projects

CPOM contribute to a number of interdisciplinary multi-centre research projects, offering satellite derived estimates of aspects of the cryosphere (such as ice thickness, floe size and sea height) as well as developing advanced simulations. We also direct our own single-centre research projects.
