Ice drilling on Skytrain Ice Rise and Sherman Island, Antarctica

Annals of Glaciology, 2021
To understand the long-term climate and glaciological evolution of the ice sheet in the region bordering the Weddell Sea, the British Antarctic Survey has undertaken a series of successful ice core projects drilling to bedrock on Berkner Island, James ...

On the use of heated needle probes for measuring snow thermal conductivity

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
Heated needle probes provide the most convenient method to measure snow thermal conductivity. Recent studies have suggested that this method underestimates snow thermal conductivity; however the reasons for this discrepancy have not been elucidated.

Using Deep Learning to Model Elevation Differences between Radar and Laser Altimetry

Remote Sensing, 2022
Satellite and airborne observations of surface elevation are critical in understanding climatic and glaciological processes and quantifying their impact on changes in ice masses and sea level contribution.

Continuous flow analysis methods for sodium, magnesium and calcium detection in the Skytrain ice core

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
Dissolved and particulate sodium, magnesium and calcium are analyzed in ice cores to determine past changes in sea ice extent, terrestrial dust variability and atmospheric aerosol transport efficiency.

Towards the development of an automated electrical self-potential sensor of melt and rainwater flow in snow

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
To understand snow structure and snowmelt timing, information about flows of liquid water within the snowpack is essential. Models can make predictions using explicit representations of physical processes, or through parameterization, but it is difficult

Bayesian calibration of an avalanche model from autocorrelated measurements along the flow: application to velocities extracted from photogrammetric images

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
Physically-based avalanche propagation models must still be locally calibrated to provide robust predictions, e.g. in long-term forecasting and subsequent risk assessment.

Antarctic subglacial drilling rig: Part IV. Electrical and electronic control system

Annals of Glaciology, 2021
In many cases, the efficiency and safety of a drilling project depend on the reliability of the electrical and electronic control system, as the process progresses without visual access of the operator.

Cryoegg: development and field trials of a wireless subglacial probe for deep, fast-moving ice

Journal of Glaciology, 2021
Subglacial hydrological systems require innovative technological solutions to access and observe. Wireless sensor platforms can be used to collect and return data, but their performance in deep and fast-moving ice requires quantification.
