This drill was used to collect an ice core to nearly a 475 foot depth, while a science team used a Despite many challenges, IDP engineers Barb Birrittella and Tanner Kuhl successfully operated the R Drill was used at the Lower Thwaites Glacier in support of the Geophysical Habitat of Subglacial Thwai Rapid Air Movement drill was used to drill 14 holes to a depth around 115-150 feet where seismic shot holes were drilled for seismic survey work at the glacier. IDP worked to contract with Icefield Instruments Inc. for the services of drill professional Etienne Gr the help of Dr. Peter Neff, principal investigator, and graduate student Julia Andreasen, reached the dep IDP convenes a science advisory board for the purpose of forming and updating the long range drillin tifies the drills and drilling technology required to enable science.
