Design and analysis of deepwater tension sensors for ice drill application

open access: yesAnnals 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.

Non-contact measurement system for hot water drilled ice boreholes

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 2021
A programmable borehole measurement system was deployed in hot water drilled ice holes during the ‘Bed Access and Monitoring of Ice Sheet History’ (BEAMISH) project to drill to the bed of the Rutford Ice Stream in West Antarctica.

Measurement of nonvolatile particle number size distribution [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2016
An experimental methodology was developed to measure the nonvolatile particle number concentration using a thermodenuder (TD). The TD was coupled with a high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer, measuring the chemical composition and mass

A novel laser melting sampler for discrete, sub-centimeter depth-resolved analyses of stable water isotopes in ice cores

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2023
We developed a novel laser melting sampler (LMS) for ice cores to measure the stable water isotope ratios (δ18O and δD) as temperature proxies at sub-centimeter depth resolutions.

Antarctic subglacial drilling rig: Part IV. Electrical and electronic control system

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 2021
In many cases, the efficiency and safety of a drilling project depend on the reliability of the electrical and electronic control system, as the process progresses without visual access of the operator.

An efficient melting probe for glacial research

open access: yesAnnals 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.

Drilling operations for the South Pole Ice Core (SPICEcore) project

open access: yesAnnals of Glaciology, 2021
Over the course of the 2014/15 and 2015/16 austral summer seasons, the South Pole Ice Core project recovered a 1751 m deep ice core at the South Pole. This core provided a high-resolution record of paleoclimate conditions in East Antarctica during the ...

Deep ice-core drilling to 800 m at Dome A in East Antarctica

open access: yesAnnals 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,
