Brief communication: RADIX (Rapid Access Drilling and Ice eXtraction) dust logger test in the EastGRIP (East Greenland Ice-core Project) hole
<p>The RADIX (Rapid Access Drilling and Ice eXtraction) optical dust logger is part of the exploratory drilling system developed at the University of Bern. It was previously untested because no RADIX borehole reached the depth of the required bubble-free ice. In June 2023, we fitted the logger...

| description | <p>The RADIX (Rapid Access Drilling and Ice eXtraction) optical dust logger is part of the exploratory drilling system developed at the University of Bern. It was previously untested because no RADIX borehole reached the depth of the required bubble-free ice. In June 2023, we fitted the logger with an adapter to enable operation and testing in the deep EastGRIP (East Greenland Ice-core Project) borehole. A high-quality dust record was obtained for the Bølling-Allerød–Younger Dryas–Early Holocene period. The light scattered by the dust in the ice around the borehole was slightly higher than the detection range of the logger, requiring a reduction in the sensitivity for future deployments.</p> |
