Ice Coring and Drilling Services (ICDS) provides support for NSF-sponsored
cold-regions research in both polar regions and at high altitudes.
ICDS maintains and operates existing equipment, and develops new
systems with two principal foci:
- to provide high quality ice cores, and
- to produce boreholes that provide access to the interior
and beds of ice sheets and glaciers for such purposes as embedding
instruments, collecting gas samples, setting seismic charges,
and studying subglacial processes
