Instruments and Methods: The Resistograph and the Compressive Strength of Snow
A recent field comparison of snow strength as measured by the snow resistograph and compressive strength as measured by direct loading to failure indicates good agreement in the range 25–400 g/cm2.

Instruments and Methods High Pressure Coupling for Pipe in Deep Water Filled Bore Holes
In August 1961 an aluminum pipe (3.5 cm. internal diameter, 4.2 cm. external diameter) having 92 specially modified socket couplings (5.0 cm. external diameter) sealed with a quick-polymerizing synthetic rubber was sunk 226 m.

Instruments and Methods Snow density for measuring surface mass balance using the stake method [PDF]
A measure of snow density is required to estimate water equivalent ice-sheet surface mass balance (SMB) from stake measurements. Previous studies have utilized the snow density at different depths within the snow.

Instruments and Methods: An Automatic Gauge for Measuring Sea-Ice Thickness
A device is described which automatically measures the thickness of a floating ice cover at regular or any desired times and allows the result to be printed together with the time on a shore-based recorder.

Instruments and Methods: A Shear-creep System for Studying Grain-boundary Behaviour in Ice
We present here a shear-creep apparatus. This has been designed to study grain-boundary behaviour in ice bi-crystals. The design and dimensions of this apparatus were determined by taking into account the results of earlier tests, performed on the same ...
