Images

The full size images will only open under Internet Explorer not Netscape (very unfortunately).

These images are all about 200 k each, so view the thumbnails then download what you want.  There were other activities that did not get photographed (sorry)

7 and 8 September: initial glacier safety training and orientation on the glacier

9 September: student presentations, test ice coring and work around the climate station

10 September: ice front and moraines

11 September: firn coring and pit work in the northern niche

12 September: DEP profiling of firn core and thin section work in the cold lab.

13 September: walking out of the Tarfala Valley.
 

Data

Pit and core data

Snow pit and ice core density profiles from northern niche site (Excel format)
DEP data from the northern niche core and the climate station site (Excel format)

GPS data

Processed with Javad receivers and Pinnacle software to WGS84 system (i.e. not the Swedish system).  The fixed point on the rock was located from the forskerhuset roof then used as a fixed point for the other surveys.

Javad base station location from true fixed point location
Jim' s stakes survey
Regine's climate station kinematic slope survey
Isfallglacier stakes
Glacier front survey points
Glacier front trajectory 1
Glacier front trajectory 2
 

Radar data

The radar did not work well, in fact only for about 10 minutes until the transmitter broke.

This is an image of the data collected with Ramac 200 MHz  unshielded antennas along the margin of the glacier.
The base of the glacier can be seen dipping from 25  to 35 m depth across the image.  The large back scattering from
65 m to 100 m is due to crossing a very wet saturated snow cover region of the glacier.Back to home page
