Electromagnetic Principles for In Situ Ice Thickness Determination - Field Experiments and Development of New Methods for Interpretation
During the spring of 2014 fieldwork in three different locations on Svalbard was conducted in order to investigate the application of electromagnetic methods on sea ice and ice ridges. Two validation grids, one transect across Sveasundet, a walkabout, an ice ridge and 8 ice cores have been measured....
