Ice Coring and Drilling Services

本特利00 - 03289威斯康星州大学将支持由美国国家科学基金会极地项目办公室资助的项目，该项目需要支持从冰川和冰盖中获取冰芯或钻取冰芯。这包括维护NSF当前的钻井系统库存，并将其提供给科学项目，或为项目操作它们。预计这些项目将是多种多样的，每年都有所不同。 它们将发生在两极，并在更温和和高海拔的网站。 威斯康星州大学将与科学界合作，在正式提案提交给OPP之前，确定要求和范围解决方案。合同第一年期间将进行的其他工程开发将包括开发一种在极地积雪中快速钻孔的钻头，另一个系统是在南极冰盖上准备一个300米的钻孔，用于宽带地震计阵列。 长期活动将是评估当前的5.2”深孔钻系统，以提出改进建议，并制定开发计划以实施改进。

ABSTRACTBentley00-03289The University of Wisconsin will support the project funded by Office of Polar Programs at NSF that require support taking ice-cores from, or drilling into, glaciers and ice-sheets. This involves maintaining the NSF's current inventory of drill systems and making them available to science projects, or operate them for projects. The projects are expected to be diverse, and to vary from year to year. They will occur at both poles, and at more temperate and high altitude sites. University of Wisconsin will work with the science community to define requirements, scope solutions before formal proposals are submitted to OPP. Additional engineering development that will occur during the first year of the contract will include the development of a drill to rapidly making shot-holes in polar firn, and another system to prepare a 300 meter bore-hole in the ice sheet at the South Pole for a broad-band seismometer array. A longer term activity will be to evaluate the current 5.2" deep drill system to recommend improvement, and make a development plan to implement the improvements.
