THE INTERNATIONAL EXPERIMENT ON GLACIAL SOUNDING, SPONSORED BY USAEL AND USACRREL, GREENLAND 1963 AND 1964

The address covers development in the use of radio waves for the depth measurement of thick ice. Also covered is the history of Geophysical surveying of profiles of the terrain underlying continental glaciers. The mechanics of the system is discussed, including recommendations for the most desirable...

Description
Summary:The address covers development in the use of radio waves for the depth measurement of thick ice. Also covered is the history of Geophysical surveying of profiles of the terrain underlying continental glaciers. The mechanics of the system is discussed, including recommendations for the most desirable wavelengths and a discussion of methods and equipment. Prepared for presentation at Glacier Mapping Symposium, National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, Sep 65.
