Antarctic sea ice is known to provide unique ecosystem habitat at the iceocean interface. Mapping sea ice characteristics - such as thickness and roughness - at high resolution from beneath the ice is difficult due to access. A Geoswath Plus phase-measuring bathymetric sonar mounted on an autonomous...
