The compaction of firn (the transition of snow to ice) is a process in glaciology that is difficult to constrain without the use of intrusive geophysical techniques. Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) is a seismic imaging technique used to obtain high-resolution images of the subsurface. This research in...
