Agile Sub-Ice Geological (ASIG) Drill development and Pirrit Hills field project

Agile Sub-Ice Geological (ASIG) Drill development and Pirrit Hills field project

A new drilling system was developed by the US Ice Drilling Program (IDP) to rapidly drill through overlying ice to collect subglacial rock cores. The Agile Sub-Ice Geological (ASIG) Drill system is capable of drilling up to 700 m of ice in a continuous manner. Intermittent ice core samples can be ta...
