dc.description.abstract	In this thesis we have made a model for the densification of firn under overburden pressure. In this model the grain size growth speed is only influenced by temperature. Next a new model for grain size growth is researched, also taking into account the temperature gradient and the density. However, the results from this model correspond less well with the data of four Antarctic ice cores then the original model.
