Clean access, measurement, and sampling of Ellsworth Subglacial Lake: A method for exploring deep Antarctic subglacial lake environments
Martin J. Siegert,Rachel J. Clarke,Matthew C. Mowlem,Neil Ross,Christopher S. Hill,Andrew Tait,Dominic A. Hodgson,John Parnell,Martyn Tranter,David A. Pearce,Michael J. Bentley,Charles S. Cockell,Maria-Nefeli Tsaloglou,Andrew Smith,John Woodward,Mario Brito,Edward M. Waugh +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the scientific protocols and methods being developed for the exploration of Ellsworth Subglacial Lake in West Antarctica, planned for 2012-2013, which they offer as a guide to future subglacial environment research missions.

TL;DR: The Ellsworth Subglacial Lake as mentioned in this paper was first observed in airborne radio echo sounding data acquired in 1978 and is located within a long, deep subglacial trough within the Ellsworth sub-glacial Highlands of West Antarctica.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robust wavebuoys for the marginal ice zone: Experiences from a large persistent array in the Beaufort Sea
Martin Doble,Jeremy Wilkinson,Lovro Valcic,Jeremy Robst,Andrew Tait,Mark Preston,Jean-Raymond Bidlot,Byongjun Hwang,Ted Maksym,Peter Wadhams +9 more
TL;DR: An array of directional wavebuoys was designed and deployed into the Beaufort Sea ice cover in March 2014, as part of the Office of Naval Research Marginal Ice Zone experiment.
Reliability Case Notes No. 7. Risk assessment of the hot-water drilling system for accessing subglacial Lake Ellsworth
TL;DR: In this article, a formal assessment of the technical risks of the hot-water drilling (HWD) system deployment in Subglacial Lake Ellsworth is presented, where the authors estimate the probability of failure for all components and processes that take part in each phase of the deployment.
