Energies, 2021 The target strata of sandstone-type uranium deposits are usually located in the fragile and loose strata, which makes it difficult to obtain core samples; consequently, a novel ice coring device for loose sandstone-type uranium deposits is proposed to ...

An affordable and miniature ice coring drill for rapid acquisition of small iceberg samples [PDF]
HardwareX, 2020 Icebergs account for approximately half of the freshwater flux from the Greenland Ice Sheet and they can impact marine ecosystems by releasing nutrients and sediments into the ocean as they drift and melt.

Optimization of hot-water ice-coring drills
Annals of Glaciology, 2021 Hot-water ice-coring drills are often used to recover ice core samples from desirable depths in conjunction with full-scale hot-water drilling systems. However, the recovered cores exhibit varying qualities.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1997 Air trapped in glacial ice offers a means of reconstructing variations in the concentrations of atmospheric gases over time scales ranging from anthropogenic (last 200 yr) to glacial/interglacial (hundreds of thousands of years). In this paper, we review the glaciological processes by which air is trapped in the ice and discuss

Deep ice-core drilling to 800 m at Dome A in East Antarctica
Annals of Glaciology, 2021 A deep ice core was drilled at Dome A, Antarctic Plateau, East Antarctica, which started with the installation of a casing in January 2012 and reached 800.8 m in January 2017. To date, a total of 337 successful ice-core drilling runs have been conducted,

Adaptation of the Winkie Drill for subglacial bedrock sampling
Annals of Glaciology, 2021 The Winkie Drill is an agile, commercially available rock coring system. The U.S. Ice Drilling Program has modified a Winkie Drill for subglacial rock and ice/rock interface coring, as well as drilling and coring access holes through ice.

Agile Sub-Ice Geological (ASIG) Drill development and Pirrit Hills field project
Annals of Glaciology, 2021 A new drilling system was developed by the US Ice Drilling Program (IDP) to rapidly drill through overlying ice to collect subglacial rock cores. The Agile Sub-Ice Geological (ASIG) Drill system is capable of drilling up to 700 m of ice in a continuous ...
