Subglacial topography and internal structure of central and western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, determined from airborne radio echo sounding
During five austral summers, from 1994/1995 until 1998/1999, the Alfred Wegener Institute
(AWI) carried out a large airborne radio echo sounding (RES) survey in Dronning Maud
Land (DML), Antarctica. These ice thickness measurements are part of the AWI contribution
to the pre-site survey for a deep ice core drill site in DML within the European Project for Ice
Coring in Antarctica (EPICA). The survey encompasses more than 90,000 km of RES
profiles over DML and the adjacent coastal area, covering more than 1 million km2. The …
