Maurine Montagnat Rentier

Prof. Dr. Maurine Montagnat Rentier is affiliated with the University of Grenoble Alpes and CNRS, working within the Institute of Geosciences of Environment and the Centre d'Etude de la Neige (Centre National de Recherches Meteorologiques – MeteoFrance, CNRS). Her research bridges small-scale deformation processes in polar ice cores with large-scale flow dynamics of polar ice caps.

Key research areas include:

• Glaciology
• Material Science
• Physical Properties of Ice
• Snow Compaction
• Dynamic Recrystallization
• Polar Ice Dynamics

She investigates microstructural evolution in ice grains, densification of snow into ice, and recrystallization mechanisms through laboratory experiments and theoretical modeling. Climate signals preserved in ice cores and their relationship to ice flow history are central to her interdisciplinary work, which integrates insights from Earth Sciences and Material Sciences.
