Tracking coarse sediment in an Alpine subglacial channel using radio-tagged particles
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 We present a method for tracking radio-tagged pebbles and cobbles through subglacial meltwater channels under shallow temperate glaciers. Natural particles tagged with active radio transmitters were injected directly into a large subglacial channel 300 m

Hot water drilling in the firn layer of Greenland's percolation zone
Annals of Glaciology, 2021 The intermixed thermal and structural framework of cold firn, water-saturated firn and ice layers in Greenland's percolation zone can be challenging to penetrate with core drills.

Characterising englacial R-channels using artificial moulins
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 The englacial and subglacial drainage systems exert key controls on glacier dynamics. However, due to their inaccessibility, they are still only poorly understood and more detailed observations are important, particularly to validate and tune physical ...

Determining the evolution of an alpine glacier drainage system by solving inverse problems
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Our understanding of the subglacial drainage system has improved markedly over the last decades due to field observations and numerical modelling. However, integrating data into increasingly complex numerical models remain challenging.

A novel approach to process brittle ice for continuous flow analysis of stable water isotopes
Journal of Glaciology, 2018 Brittle ice, which occurs in all intermediate-depth and deep ice cores retrieved from high-latitude regions, presents a challenge for high-resolution measurements of water isotopes, gases, ions and other quantities conducted with continuous flow analysis

Antarctic subglacial drilling rig: Part III. Drilling auxiliaries and environmental measures
Annals of Glaciology, 2021 The Antarctic subglacial drilling rig (ASDR) is designed to recover 105 mm-diameter ice cores up to 1400 m depth and 41.5 mm-diameter bedrock cores up to 2 m in length. In order to ensure safe and convenient drilling, drilling auxiliaries are designed to
