A low-cost electrical conductivity profiler for glacier boreholes
Abstract Electrical conductivity profiling allows definition of the hydrology of glacier boreholes occupied by contrasting water types. An inexpensive, robust conductivity profiling system is described that allows detailed description of borehole hydrostratigraphy with reasonable reproducibility. Fi...

| Summary: | Abstract Electrical conductivity profiling allows definition of the hydrology of glacier boreholes occupied by contrasting water types. An inexpensive, robust conductivity profiling system is described that allows detailed description of borehole hydrostratigraphy with reasonable reproducibility. Field dato demonstrate the need to distinguish between bottom water in boreholes and basal water in drainage systems at the glacier bed. |
