Description
Summary:Significant advances in ice drilling technology since the Ice-Core Drilling technology since the Ice-Core Drilling Symposium at Lincoln, Neb., in August 1974 are reviewed. Three examples are: the flame jet and hot water drilling through the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica and the deep core drilling at Dye 3 in South Greenland. This article is from 'Proceedings of the International Workshop/Symposium on Ice Drilling Technology (2nd) Held at Calgary, Alberta, Canada on 30-31 August 1982,' AD-A156 733, p1-6.
