Long length scale measurements of subglacial hydrology:
Ø
Installed 18 “Gophers” measuring
water pressure, water conductivity, water turbidity, and water
velocity.
Ø
Each parameter sampled at 15 min intervals for a period
of 1 year.
Ø
Gophers installed in boreholes extending 90-185 m
to the glacier bed. Data stored in
surface data logger. Gophers are
retrievable by re-drilling boreholes with wire following drill.
Ø
Boreholes distributed in 9 evenly spaced sites
along length of glacier; 2 holes per site.
|
Gopher and cable prior to installation.
90 days of gopher data (summer 2002).
