Measuring sea ice thickness with the LOZA georadar [PDF]
Russian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2021 This article documents the use of portable georadar for measuring the thickness of sea ice. This device was developed to replace the method for measuring ice thickness by drilling ice holes.

Measuring and inferring the ice thickness distribution of four glaciers in the Tien Shan, Kyrgyzstan
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Glaciers in the Tien Shan mountains contribute considerably to the fresh water used for irrigation, households and energy supply in the dry lowland areas of Kyrgyzstan and its neighbouring countries. To date, reconstructions of the current ice volume and

Brief communication: Measuring and modelling the ice thickness of the Grigoriev ice cap (Kyrgyzstan) and comparison with global datasets [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 An accurate ice thickness distribution is crucial for correct projections of the future state of an ice mass. However, measuring the ice thickness with an in situ system is time-consuming and not scalable.

Retrieval and parameterisation of sea-ice bulk density from airborne multi-sensor measurements [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Knowledge of sea-ice thickness and volume depends on freeboard observations from satellite altimeters and in turn on information of snow mass and sea-ice density required for the freeboard-to-thickness conversion.
