Exploring Mount Erebus by walking robot
Wettergreen, D., Thorpe, C. and Whittaker, R., Exploring Mount Erebus by walking robot, Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 11 (1993) 171-185. Dante is a tethered walking robot capable of climbing steep slopes. In 1992 it was created at Carnegie Mellon University and deployed in Antarctica to explore an active volcano, Mount Erebus. The Dante project's robot science objectives were to demonstrate ...
متن کاملEnumeration of thermophilic heterotrophs in geothermally heated soils from mount erebus, ross island, antarctica.
Soil samples with temperatures up to 64 degrees C were collected from Mount Erebus, an active volcano located on Ross Island, Antarctica. Acridine orange direct counts and most probable number counts of soil samples stored at 4 degrees C for 2 months showed a wide variation in the number of thermophilic microorganisms in different soils. Organisms similar to Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum, B...
متن کاملAnalysis of Seismic Similarity in Strombolian Eruptions from Mount Erebus, Antarctica By
II ABSTRACT Mount Erebus has long been recognized to produce very similar seismic signatures associated with its Strombolian eruptions. decorrelation of the coda, accompanied by relative stability in the early seismogram. Using coda wave interferometry, this decorrelation was interpreted as a median change within the volcano. Closer examination of this data in this thesis shows that clipping du...
متن کاملHistorical Glacier and Climate Fluctuations at Mount Hood, Oregon
Terminus fluctuations of five glaciers and the correspondence of these fluctuations to temperature and precipitation patterns were assessed at Oregon’s Mount Hood over the period 1901–2001. Historical photographs, descriptions, and climate data, combined with contemporary GPS measurements and GIS analysis, revealed that each glacier experienced overall retreat, ranging from 62 m at the Newton C...
متن کاملIce in a Floating Ice Tongue
Stable isotope analysis has been used successfully to distinguish between several different ice types in an ice tongue floating on sea water in Antarctica. At one critical location this technique has provided the only means of discriminating unambiguously between glacial ice and fresh-water ice formed from desalinated sea water. This part of the ice tongue is now underlain by a layer of desalte...
