Measurement of Firn Motion by a Magnetic Prospecting Method

Abstract The compaction and flow within névé can be studied by means of magnetized steel tubes buried in vertical pits. The locations of the tubes, their distances from the surface, down to a depth of 10 m., and their angles with the vertical can be determined from measurements made with a B.M.Z. ma...
