A portable earth‐drill system for permafrost studies

This technical note presents a light drill specially designed for coring in permafrost. The drill was improved over several years at Université Laval's Centre d'études nordiques. More efficient than the conventional CRREL coring kit, the equipment allows total‐length recovery of cores 10 c...
