Excursion to the Dachstein glacier as part of the master’s thesis

Last Saturday we went to the Dachstein glacier as part of Eva Reichmann’s master’s thesis. Supervised by Sebastian Tassoti and Philipp Spitzer (University of Graz), she develops model experiments on scientific phenomena in alpine and glacial regions. During the excursion, the main focus was on measuring the carbon dioxide trapped in the glacier ice. Samples of snow, ice and rock were taken for analysis and for the development of further experiments.
