Book Description
The results, observations, and conclusions are presented of one season's study by the Water Forecasting Unit of the Soil Conversation Service which was undertaken to help in the selection of the best system and equipment for measuring the depth and density of Arctic and sub-Arctic snow. Further objectives of the study were to define specific snow survey problems in the Yukon River basin, and to begin the collection of basic data on the water equivalent of snow in that area. Emphasis is placed on the accuracy of water equivalent determinations, field-accuracy tests of snow samplers, and snow survey field tests in Alaska. In general, it was found that the present Federal snow sampler equipment is as ultilitarian as can be found, but modification of the cutter point is needed to reduce over-measurement error. Aerial snow markers provide a reasonably accurate and inexpensive measurement of snow depth. Small oversnow vehicles can be flown to remote areas and used for transportation to snow courses.

Book Description
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.
