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.

Design and analysis of deepwater tension sensors for ice drill application
Annals of Glaciology, 2021 Monitoring the tension in cables is significant in some ice drill and deepwater applications. Take our RECoverable Autonomous Sonde (RECAS) for example. It is able to melt a hole to the bottom of ice sheet and is able to move upwards.
