Creep of polar firn

Cold Regions Science and Technology, 1999
Abstract It is the aim of the paper presented here to describe the creep behaviour of polar firn. To do so, creep tests under tension, compression and combined torsion–compression load were performed. The samples tested were examined to testify their structural properties and were classified to ensure comparability.

Potential of the Global Precipitation Measurement Constellation for Characterizing the Polar Firn

2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium IGARSS, 2021
This paper discusses the utilization of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) constellation as a single multi-frequency radiometer to profile subsurface properties of the polar firn. Initial analyses focusing on the Concordia station in Antarctica have demonstrated that GPM brightness temperature measurements can be successfully simulated across a

Convective mixing of air in firn at four polar sites

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2006
Air withdrawn from the firn at four polar sites (Dome Fuji, H72 and YM85, Antarctica and North GRIP, Greenland) was measured for δ 15 No f N2 and δ 18 Oo f O2 to test for the presence of convective air mixing in the top part of the firn, known as the “convective zone”.

Settlement of a Large Structure on Polar Firn

Current Practices in Cold Regions Engineering, 2006
Sustainable engineering in remote cold regions requires use of readily-available natural materials for engineering applications such as building foundations. Construction of a large structure at the South Pole provides a unique opportunity to observe settlement of a compacted snow and firn foundation.

A method for the measurement of seismic attenuation in polar firn

2023
We present seismic measurements of the firn column at Korff Ice Rise, West Antarctica, including measurements of compressional- and shear-wave velocity and attenuation. We describe a modified spectral-ratio method of measuring the seismic quality factor (Q) based on analysis of diving waves, which enables us to characterise the attenuative structure of

The in-situ dielectric constant of polar firn revisited

Cold Regions Science and Technology, 1995
Abstract The success in using VHF and UHF frequency systems for sounding polar ice sheets has been tempered by an uncertainty in the in-situ dielectric constant which controls the effective velocity of an electromagnetic wave propagating in an air-ice mixture. An empirical equation for determining the relative real dielectric constant ϵ′r vs. density
