This book provides a review of thermal ice drilling technologies,
including the design, parameters, and performance of various tools
and drills for making holes in ice sheets, ice caps, mountain
glaciers, ice shelves, and sea ice. In recent years, interest in
thermal drilling technology has increased as a result of subglacial
lake explorations and extraterrestrial investigations. The book
focuses on the latest ice drilling technologies, but also discusses
the historical development of ice drilling tools and devices over
the last 100 years to offer valuable insights into what is possible
and what not to do in the future. Featuring numerous figures and
pictures, many of them published for the first time, it is intended
for specialists working in ice-core sciences, polar oceanography,
drilling engineers and glaciologists, and is also a useful
reference for researchers and graduate students working in
engineering and cold-regions technology.
This book provides a review of mechanical ice drilling technology,
including the design, parameters, and performance of various tools
and drills for making holes in snow, firn and ice. The material
presents the historical development of ice drilling tools and
devices from the first experience taken place more than 170 years
ago to the present day and focuses on the modern vision of ice
drilling technology. It is illustrated with numerous pictures, many
of them published for the first time. This book is intended for
specialists in ice core sciences, drilling engineers,
glaciologists, and can be useful for high-school students and other
readers who are very interested in engineering and cold regions
technology.
This book provides a comprehensive review of drilling technologies
in the polar regions, from the portable drilling equipment for
shallow sampling and coring, to heavy drilling equipment for deep
onshore and offshore drilling. Particular attention is given to
safe drilling methods in permafrost. In recent years, interest in
drilling in the polar regions has increased under the pressure of
the geopolitical "rush" and the undiscovered resource potential. In
addition, borehole monitoring of permafrost thermal states is
urgently needed to obtain evidence of climate change. The book
focuses on the latest drilling technologies but also discusses the
historical development of sampling, and drilling tools and devices,
over the last 60-70 years providing valuable insights into a way
forward and future possibilities.
