Drilling comparison in ‘warm ice’ and drill design comparison [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2007 AbstractFor the deep ice-core drilling community, the 2005/06 Antarctic season was an exciting and fruitful one. In three different Antarctic locations, Dome Fuji, EPICA DML and Vostok, deep drillings approached bedrock (the ice–water interface in the case of Vostok), emulating what had previously been achieved at NorthGRIP, Greenland, (summer 2003 and

A new large-diameter ice-core drill: the Blue Ice Drill [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2014 AbstractThe Blue Ice Drill (BID) is a large-diameter agile drill system designed by the Ice Drilling Design and Operations group of the University of Wisconsin–Madison to quickly core-clean 241 mm diameter ice samples from near-surface sites. It consists of a down-hole motor/gear reducer rotating a coring cutter and core barrel inside an outer barrel ...

Drill-site selection for cosmogenic-nuclide exposure dating of the bed of the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Direct observations of the size of the Greenland Ice Sheet during Quaternary interglaciations are sparse yet valuable for testing numerical models of ice-sheet history and sea level contribution. Recent measurements of cosmogenic nuclides in bedrock from
