Geometry and ice dynamics of the Darwin–Hatherton glacial system, Transantarctic Mountains
Journal of Glaciology, 2017 The Darwin–Hatherton Glacial system (DHGS) connects the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) with the Ross Ice Shelf and is a key area for understanding past variations in ice thickness of surrounding ice masses.

Airborne profiling of ice thickness using a short pulse radar [PDF]
The acquisition and interpretation of ice thickness data from a mobile platform has for some time been a goal of the remote sensing community. Such data, once obtainable, is of value in monitoring the changes in ice thickness over large areas, and in ...

A weekly Arctic sea-ice thickness data record from merged CryoSat-2 and SMOS satellite data [PDF]
, 2017 Sea-ice thickness on a global scale is derived from different satellite sensors using independent retrieval methods. Due to the sensor and orbit characteristics, such satellite retrievals differ in spatial and temporal resolution as well as in the ...

Measurement of lake ice thickness with a short-pulse radar system [PDF]
Measurements of lake ice thickness were made during March 1975 at the Straits of Mackinac by using a short-pulse radar system aboard an all-terrain vehicle. These measurements were compared with ice thicknesses determined with an auger.

A gradient-boosted tree framework to model the ice thickness of the world's glaciers (IceBoost v1.1) [PDF]
Geoscientific Model DevelopmentKnowledge of glacier ice volumes is crucial for constraining future sea level potential, evaluating freshwater resources, and assessing impacts on societies, from regional to global. Motivated by the disparity in existing ice volume estimates, we present

On the Measurement of Ice Growth by Hot-Wire Ice Thickness Meter
Journal of the Japanese Society of Snow and Ice, 1973 Hot-wire ice thickness meter is made very easily by using a nichrome wire (diameter 0.7mm, specific resistance 0.03Ω/cm) and an alkaline dry-battery (6-15V, 3-4A).In this paper, Fig. 1 shows the hot-wire ice thickness meter. Two examples of the measurements on the relation between ice growth and freezing index are given in Fig. 2.

Joint inversion estimate of regional glacial isostatic adjustment in Antarctica considering a lateral varying Earth structure (ESA STSE Project REGINA) [PDF]
, 2017 A major uncertainty in determining the mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet from measurements of satellite gravimetry, and to a lesser extent satellite altimetry, is the poorly known correction for the ongoing deformation of the solid Earth caused by

Impact assessment of snow thickness, sea ice density and water density in CryoSat-2-derived sea ice thickness [PDF]
The CryosphereSea ice thickness is an essential climate variable, which is often derived from satellite altimetry freeboard estimates, e.g., by CryoSat-2. In order to convert freeboard to sea ice thickness, assumptions are needed for snow thickness, snow density, sea ...
