Mechanical Ice Drilling Technology, 1st ed. 2016 Springer Geophysics Series
Auteur : Talalay Pavel G.
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.
Includes descriptions of all the methods of making holes in snow,
firn and ice by mechanical fracture based on more than 500 references, personal
communications from the leading ice drilling scientists and personal experience
Contains 400 figures, many of them published for the first time
Focuses on the field performance of mechanical drilling operations in ice, drilling problems and possible solutions
