Laboratory Measurements of the Resistivity of Ice

An attempt has been made to measure the D.C. resistivity of ice directly by placing plane–parallel samples between two electrodes with guard rings. Very strong polarization effects were observed which were most pronounced in ice from an ice–cored moraine, lesser in glacier ice, and the least in arti...

Description
Summary:An attempt has been made to measure the D.C. resistivity of ice directly by placing plane–parallel samples between two electrodes with guard rings. Very strong polarization effects were observed which were most pronounced in ice from an ice–cored moraine, lesser in glacier ice, and the least in artificially frozen ice.
