Abstract The thickness of glaciers in High-Mountain Asia (HMA) is critical determining when the ice reserve will be lost as these thin but remarkably poorly known because very few measurements have been made. Through a series ground-based and airborne field tests, we adapted low-frequency ice-penetrating radar developed originally for Antarctic over-snow surveys, deployment helicopter-borne system to increase number measurements. manoeuvrability provided by helicopters ability our detect...
Abstract Recent drilling successes on Rutford Ice Stream in West Antarctica demonstrate the viability of hot water subglacial access holes to depths >2000 m. Having techniques deep environments reliably paves way for lake exploration beneath thick central Antarctic Sheet. An ideal candidate lake, overlain by ~2650 m ice, identified Centro de Estudios Científicos (CECs), Chile, has led collaboration with British Survey Subglacial Lake CECs (SLCECs). To conform Scientific Committee Research...
