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

Airborne mapping of the sub-ice platelet layer under fast ice in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Basal melting of ice shelves can result in the outflow of supercooled ice shelf water, which can lead to the formation of a sub-ice platelet layer (SIPL) below adjacent sea ice.

Measuring thickness of marine ice using IR thermography [PDF]
Cold Regions Science and Technology, 2019 Abstract There are several challenges to operating in a cold climate. Marine icing is one of them, and its mitigation is vital for marine operations. The presented work is a laboratory-scale setup to measure marine ice thickness. The developed methodology can be applied towards de-/anti-icing setups.

The sub-ice platelet layer and its influence on freeboard to thickness conversion of Antarctic sea ice [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 This is an investigation to quantify the influence of the sub-ice platelet layer on satellite measurements of total freeboard and their conversion to thickness of Antarctic sea ice. The sub-ice platelet layer forms as a result of the seaward advection of

Summer sea ice characteristics and morphology in the Pacific Arctic sector as observed during the CHINARE 2010 cruise [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2013 In the summer of 2010, atmosphere–ice–ocean interaction was studied aboard the icebreaker R/V Xuelong during the Chinese National Arctic Research Expedition (CHINARE), in the sea ice zone of the Pacific Arctic sector between 150° W and 180° W up to 88.5°

Basal roughness of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet in relation to flow speed and basal thermal state
Annals of Glaciology, 2020 Basal motion of ice sheets depends in part on the roughness and material properties of the subglacial bed and the occurrence of water. To date, basal motion represents one of the largest uncertainties in ice-flow models. It is that component of the total
