Evolving ice fraction in the shallow firn layer of Devon Ice Cap, Canada, between 2012 and 2022

Firn can store glacial meltwater and delay contribution to sea level rise, but ice layers and ice slabs within the shallow firn layer can impede the downward percolation of melt. Here we report firn conditions along a transect on southwest Devon Ice Cap (DIC), Nunavut, and explore its response to ai...
