Instruments and Methods Instrumented Probes for Deep Glacial Investigations

, 1968
Thermal probes can carry instrumentation packages into polar ice sheets for geophysical investigations and long-term observations by remote measurement methods. They are self-contained surface-controlled devices. The development work at U.S.

An efficient melting probe for glacial research

Annals of Glaciology, 2021
In this paper, we present an electric-thermal drill with a novel design of a melting head that was developed within the EnEx-RANGE project. The design combines a short melting head with a large surface area of parabolic shape.

Teleseismic S‐Wave Coda Autocorrelation and vp/vs ${v}_{p}/{v}_{s}$ Distribution Over the Antarctic Ice Sheet

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Accurate characterization of the compressional to shear (P‐to‐S) wave‐speed ratio (vp/vs ${v}_{p}/{v}_{s}$) within the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is crucial for understanding its internal structure, mechanical stability, and vulnerability to a changing climate.

For whom and by whom is glaciology?

Journal of Glaciology
Glacier and ice sheet research is frequently justified on the basis of potential benefits to those communities that are most vulnerable to glacier change.

Connectivity Between Primary and Secondary Subglacial Drainage Subsystems Beneath a Land‐Terminating Outlet Glacier of the Greenland Ice Sheet

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 5, August 2026.
Abstract The evolution and connectivity of subglacial drainage systems control basal sliding and therefore modulate ice motion, yet direct observations of these systems remain limited. Here, we investigate hydraulic connectivity and its influence on ice motion at Isunnguata Sermia, a large land‐terminating outlet glacier of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

Search and recovery of aircraft parts in ice-sheet crevasse fields using airborne and in situ geophysical sensors

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
On 30 September 2017, an Air France Airbus A380-800 suffered a failure of its fourth engine while over Greenland. This failure resulted in the loss of the engine fan hub, fan blades and surrounding structure.

Discrepancy in Satellite Altimetry Products Hinders Robust Retrieval of GIA Signals From Bedrock GNSS Data in Greenland

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Isolating glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) signals from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) observations of vertical land motion (VLM) in Greenland requires removal of elastic solid Earth response to contemporary ice mass change. This elastic correction depends on ice‐surface elevation changes derived from satellite altimetry and firn ...

Signal characteristics of surface seismic explosive sources near the West Antarctic Ice Sheet divide

Journal of Glaciology
Seismic imaging in 3-D holds great potential for improving our understanding of ice sheet structure and dynamics. Conducting 3-D imaging in remote areas is simplified by using lightweight and logistically straightforward sources.

Dark Land Surfaces Allow for Refugia That Could Support Photosynthetic Life on the Surface of Snowball Earth

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Photosynthetic eukaryotic algae survived the Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth events, indicating that liquid‐water refugia existed somewhere on the surface. We examine the potential for refugia at the coldest time of a snowball event, before CO2 had risen and with high‐albedo ice on the frozen ocean, before it became darkened by dust deposition ...

Automatic measurement of glacier ice ablation using thermistor strings

Journal of Glaciology, 2019
In this work we tested the suitability of thermistor strings as automatic tools for the continuous measurement of glacier ice ablation. Experimental data collected in summer 2017 over an Italian glacier provided ice ablation readings with accuracy ...
