Consulting Services
Icefield Instruments Inc. can provide a wide variety of consulting services related to glaciology and hydrology. Our services include:
- Flow monitoring (using stage recording and/or dye tracing)
- Glacier mass balance
- Glacier motion/strain analysis
- Radar depth profiling
- Terrain hazard analysis (e.g. surge potential, outburst floods, etc.)
Examples of work undertaken in the past include:
- Windy Craggy, British Columbia: monitoring glacier motion using a network of stakes. This work was part of a larger multi-year environmental assessment process for the Windy Craggy copper deposit.
- Engabreen, Norway: installing subglacial pressure transducers in a search for the main subglacial drainage channel. Once located, this water was piped through a 60km-long tunnel network to a nearby hydroelectric power station.
