dc.description.abstract | The ecological impacts of meltwater produced by icebergs and sea ice in the waters
around Greenland are poorly understood, due in part to limited observations. Current
field sampling methods are resource and labor-intensive, and not without significant risk.
We developed a small, unoccupied, and robotic platform to retrieve ice samples, while
simultaneously eliminating safety risks to scientists and their support infrastructure. The
IceDrone consists of a modified commercial hexcopter that retrieves ice samples. We
describe the design requirements, construction, and testing of the IceDrone. IceDrone’s
capabilities were validated in the laboratory and during a field test in January 2019
near Nuuk (southwest Greenland). IceDrone retrieved samples in hard and dry glacial
ice in harsh winter conditions. The field test led to modifications in the drilling head
design and drilling process that enable it to retrieve samples in thin sea ice. All
design files and software are provided in an attempt to rapidly enhance our collective
understanding of ice-ocean interactions while improving the safety and productivity of
field sampling campaigns. | en_US |
