Sensor probes for glaciology

Copyright: Kirk Martinez

To make new autonomous sub-glacial probes for glaciology research. This involves the design of small probes containing sensors and transponders which will be placed inside and under a glacier. They will be monitored over a year by a base station, which will collect the measurements, measure the probe positions and transmit data to a web server in the UK. The projects also involves the Geography Department.
