Radioactivity measurement in glacier and Polar ice-caps: An overview
Abstract Glacier is an extended mass of ice formed by snow falling and accumulating over the years and moving very slowly either by descending from high mountains, as in valley glaciers or by moving out of accumulation centers, as in glaciers on the continent. Glaciers are a significant source of po...
