The astrocompass -- Appendix B. Glossary. 520 3 $a A rare personal account of a scientific journey, this memoir details one year of field operations in 1970-71, acquiring ice thickness data with radar, gravity measurements, and magnetometer measurements in Antarctica. Compiled from official logs, personal papers, and memories, Blizzards and Broken Grousers reminds us of the pioneering spirit of geophysics in the time when field operations reached the ends of the earth and exploration was not confined to offices and computer processing systems. This book provides a detailed account of the author's Antarctic experience in a time before GPS, satellite communications, internet, and even links to Antarctica by air. Moreover, although it was not obvious at the time, the data collected from this work provide the underpinnings of the currently accepted theory on the movement of glacial icecaps, including models of ice behavior and the interaction of ice and climate that have been used extensively in assessments of future climate change. 530 $a Aslo available in electronic form. $u https://library.seg.org/doi/10.1190/1.9781560803768 600 10 $a Denham, Les R. 650 0 $a Earth scientists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Glaciers $z Antarctica. 650 0 $a Glaciology $z Antarctica. 650 0 $a Geophysics $z Antarctica. 650 0 $a Ice sheets $z Antarctica. 653 $a Antarctica 653 $a case history 653 $a environmental 653 $a climate change 653 $a field experiments 653 $a field operations 653 $a gravity measurements 653 $a glacial icecaps 653 $a land 653 $a measurements 653 $a traversing 653 $a mapping 653 $a near surface 653 $a sampling 710 2 $a Society of Exploration Geophysicists, $e publisher. 776 08 $i Electronic version: $z 9781560803768 830 0 $a Geophysical monograph series ; $v no. 25. 856 41 $3 Ordering information: $u https://seg.org/shop/products/detail/237626086 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220506013625.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=485DCB4C83F811ECA43678234CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
