In recent years, there have been opportunities to study the internal structure of glacial covers by methods of isotopic and geochemical glaciology as a result of the introduction of new technical means and methods of deep drilling with core sampling into research.
To date, rich material has been accumulated on the properties and material composition of fresh ice, which was obtained during glaciological, geophysical, geochemical and microbiological studies of the ice core of the Arctic and Antarctic.
Для отбора значительных по объему проб жидкости или газа с целью детального изучения вещественного состава различных горизонтов ледниковых покровов, распределения в них редких или рассеянных химических элементов, их изотопного состава и пр. в практике гляциологических исследований широкое применение находит метод бурения скважин с плавлением в интервале опробования необходимых по объему каверн ...
At the Leningrad Mining Institute, work is underway to create techniques and technology for deep drilling-melting wells in ice deposits. At the inland Antarctic Vostok station and on scientific cruises more than 4000 m of boreholes with complete coring were drilled ...
