Thermal electric ice-core drills: history and new design options for intermediate-depth drilling
Ice coring of temperate and polythermal glaciers demonstrates some limitations of most electromechanical (EM) and thermal electric (TE) drills. Most TE drills are heavy, require a heavy power system, work slowly and cannot operate in boreholes going through the cold–temperate ice transition. Antifreeze thermal electric drills (ATED) are capable of operating in polar ice caps, polythermal and te...

Arctic and high altitude ice coring operations require lightweight and efficient equipment. Power sources. fuel and shelter in some cases compose up to 50'J6 of the cargo delivered to a drill ing ite. Solar panel , twotroke gasoline and air-cooled portable diesel generato rs have been u ed in Arctic a.nd high a lt itude glacier to power the drilling etup. On the ummit of Mt. Ki limanjaro (589S ...
متن کاملAntifreeze thermal ice core drilling: an effective approach to the acquisition of ice cores
Antifreeze thermal electric drills have a long history of ice drilling in temperate, subpolar and polar glaciers. Shallow, intermediate and deep ice cores have been obtained in Arctic, Antarctic and on high elevation glaciers. Many merits and drawbacks of antifreeze thermal technology have been discovered over the past 25 years. A modified version of the antifreeze thermal electric ice coring d...

متن کاملOn the gas-ice depth difference (1depth) along the EPICA Dome C ice core
We compare a variety of methods for estimating the gas/ice depth offset (1depth) at EPICA Dome C (EDC, East Antarctica). (1) Purely based on modelling efforts, 1depth can be estimated combining a firn densification with an ice flow model. (2) The diffusive column height can be estimated from δ15N and converted to 1depth using an ice flow model and assumptions about past average firn density and...
