Abstract: Award Abstract #0538639
Spatial Variability in Firn Properties from Borehole Optical Stratigraphy at the Inland WAIS Core Site

This award supports a project to study the patterns of accumulation variation and microstructural properties near the WAIS Divide ice core site in a 2.5 km array of 20 m boreholes. Borehole Optical Stratigraphy (BOS) is a novel optical measurement system that detects ... View entire text
