Ground-Penetrating Radar Reveals Ice Thickness and Undisturbed Englacial Layers at Kilimanjaro's Northern Ice Field

Our study is the first to use ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to investigate ice thickness and internal layering at Kilimanjaro's largest ice body, the Northern Ice Field (NIF). For monitoring the ongoing ice loss, our ice thickness soundings allowed us to estimate the total ice volume remaining...
