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...
