Research activity in the ANR-DFG project “MAGIC: The Mountain Glacier Forecast Framework” and follow-up project “IMMINENT: The Climatic Imprint on Recent Glacier Demise in the Cordillera Darwin, Tierra Del Fuego” by Dr. Johannes Fürst. The aim is to investigate past and future glacier development in the Chilean Cordillera Darwin and to better understand the influence of climatic changes.
