An ISSI (International Space Science Institute) International Team led by Dr. Maria N. Drozdovskaya (Center for Space and Habitability, University of Bern) and Dr. Cyrielle Opitom (University of Edinburgh) visited the research station Jungfraujoch to hold a meeting in the library and to have a guided tour around the station and the Sphinx-observatory.

As part of the celebration activities of the EuChemS Historical Landmark Award 2021 that was awarded to the High Altitude Research Station Jungfraujoch, invited guests travelled to Jungfraujoch to reveal the original plaque (from left to right: Prof. Markus Leuenberger, Director HFSJG, Prof. Silvio Decurtins, President HFSJG, Prof. Floris Rutjes, President EuChemS, Dr. Brigitte Van Tiggelen, representative of the Historical Landmark Committee of the EuChemS).

FAU Erlangen used a drone-based radar system to investigate stratification in firn and ice. The ultra-wideband FMCW radar system can resolve stratifications in the order of a few cm at a depth of several tens of metres. The picture shows the octocopter on a measurement flight in front of the impressive panorama of the Jungfrau (picture on the top).A field test camp was set up on the Jungfraufirn by FAU Erlangen, BU Wuppertal and RWTH Aachen for melt drilling in the glacier. The melting probe is additionally equipped with radar, sonar and permittivity sensors in order to be able to draw conclusions about the stratification in the glacier. In addition, the camp is used as a starting point for measurements with mobile radar equipment. The team carried out measurements on the Jungfraufirn over a period of 3 weeks in March/April 2023 (picture on the bottom).Pictures: © LHFT, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg
