[Summer☀️series] #PolarAccessFund 2024
Bastien Ruols & @CRAG_UNIL are developing an innovative drone-based ground-penetrating radar. After tests in the 🇨🇭Alps, the team will study the Ward Hunt Ice Rise 🇨🇦 with Geocryolab @UMontreal.

Would you like to learn more about the technical aspects of our #drone-based #GPR system? the survey methodology? the biggest ever high-density 3D GPR dataset ever recorded over an alpine #glacier?
@Bastien_Ruols's first paper is finally out there 🎉

New post on the '#Scientific #Outreach' section of our website 🙃

We have made a short video about our #fieldwork on the #Otemma #glacier, trying to explain with simple words how our #drone-based #GPR system works :

Otemma acquisition 2/3 of this summer ✅
After some very cold days, the group came back with tons of data:
🛸drone GPR,
📷photogrammetry,
🧊ice drilling,
📷installation of 2 time-lapse cameras,
🌊dye tracing.
And if you can't survey due to snowfall, why not build a snowman! ⛄️
With our drone-based GPR system, depending on the field site, helicopter lifts are not mandatory to acquire high-density 3D datasets... as long as you have enough strong friends motivated to carry (very) heavy bags!

Summer #fieldwork season has finally started for us! 🎉 Last week we went to Otemma #glacier for the first #GPR campaign of the season. Time to process the data now before we go back in August to repeat the survey. 🗻

First visit to Otemma Glacier this summer. Shocked by the extent of glacier retreat, and it's still early in the season...
Last week, some of us took part into the training course for glaciated terrain organised by the SPI on the Moiry glacier. Hazard assessment, crevasse rescue, health and safety issues... we now feel better prepared for the field season starting soon :) Thank you @SwissPolar !
Last month, we took part into the students' exploration #geophysics camp. Nothing to do with ice this time... Objective: study the #archaeological site of Avenches, capital of the Helvetii in Roman times. Some pictures/data:
1 - #Magnetism
2 - #Gravimetry
3 - #GPR
4 - #Ohm-Mapper
Fast Radar-On-Glaciers Simulations (FROGS - 🐸🐸🐸) is our open-source package to model GPR data on glaciers. It is now available as a Matlab package or a python/C++ package: github.com/jhunziker/
Here is an example for the Otemma glacier (Switzerland).

Both group-members @JohannaKlahold and @Bastien_Ruols received today their OSPP awards for their EGU22 presentations 🤩🤩🤩
@FGSE_UNIL @unil @ISTE_UNIL
Our OSPP winners from 2022! Congratulations @JohannaKlahold, @Bastien_Ruols and @MLMaclennan! #EGU23 #OSPP
Tomorrow on 24/04, group member @JohannaKlahold will take part into the @EGU_Seismo SM5.2 session. Do you want to know more about 3D diffraction imaging for #GPR data? Then please do not miss her talk! #EGU23
