Through scientific research, I examine the influence of snow microstructure on energy transfer and remote sensing applications in the Arctic and Antarctica. I initiate conversations about our changing planet through public outreach and outline the current research which monitors and models these changes.

My research, outreach, illustrations, and work in sustainable science strive to improve societal understanding of the changing polar climates. Through scientific research, I examine the influence...

2024年3月12日 · The research of Amy Macfarlane focused on understanding the critical role of snow and ice in the Arctic, particularly how these elements influence the region's energy budget and contribute to global climate patterns.

2023年9月15日 · Amy Macfarlane from the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF in Davos, Switzerland, will pursue her project titled ‘Radiative transfer modelling applied to melting Arctic and Antarctic sea ice’ with the Australian Antarctic Program Partnership (AAPP).

A. R. Macfarlane et al.: Temporospatial variability of snow’s thermal conductivity on Arctic sea ice 5419 to identify both spatial and temporal trends in the dataset (Sect.3.3).

2023年10月16日 · Snow physics researcher Dr Amy Macfarlane, from the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF in Switzerland, is swapping the Arctic for the Antarctic to help further understanding of how sea ice regulates Earth’s climate.

Spectral albedo measurements of the sea ice surface during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) campaign in the Central Arctic …

the formation of saline Arctic snow, and contribution to sea salt aerosols, iii) uncertainties in mass balance and physical properties of snow, and iv) additional uncertainties in precipitation estimates when compared to in situ measurements.

The inter-disciplinary nature of this expedition brings together 600 scientists with Atmospheric, Ocean, Ecosystem, Sea Ice, Remote Sensing, Modelling and Biogeochemistry backgrounds to better understand energy fluxes and processes occurring in the Arctic.
