ZENITH

ZENITH aims to establish an autonomous monitoring observatory to study snow accumulation processes on the Antarctic ice cap.

The ZENITH project, led by the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research Davos, focuses on monitoring snow accumulation in Antarctica. The project involves the construction of an autonomous observatory designed to collect long-term data on snow accumulation processes on the ice cap. These observations contribute to a better understanding of snow accumulation and its role in Antarctic ice mass changes.
