We would like to focus our attention on topics that are of potential interest to both the glaciological as well as astro-particle communities. The following topics were so far considered, but feel free to also contact us for topics outside this scope:
- Rapid Access Drilling (RAID) at the South Pole and the possibility of
a long term open hole - SPICEcore physical properties (in particular
grain size, elongation, orientation and fabric), expected hole
lifetime and borehole logging - Modeling of optical and radio propagation in birefringent
polycrystals with crystal preferred orientation (CPO and COF) - Glaciology instrumentation in the IceCube Upgrade and IceCube Gen2
Data interests (both in terms of IceCube data (temperatures, images,
ice analyses, ...) being interesting to glaciology, as well as
glaciology data being interesting to the IceCube detector modelling) - Drilling technology and logistics
- Bedrock morphology and characteristics
- Englacial heterogeneities and structures, layering architecture
