Ice tilt time-series from sensors installed in boreholes drilled into Khumbu Glacier, Nepal, in 2017 and 2018 as part of EverDrill research project - VERSION 1.0
GB/NERC/BAS/PDC/01128

Summary

Abstract:
The datasets are ice tilt time series from strings of accelerometers, each located at a discrete depth within one of three boreholes into Khumbu Glacier, Nepal. Ice deformation can be derived from this tilt data, but has not yet been calculated. Boreholes were drilled in May 2017 and 2018 to investigate the internal properties of Khumbu Glacier, specifically ice thickness, temperature, deformation and structure, as part of the NERC-funded 'EverDrill' research project. Supporting borehole information is provided as a related dataset.

Funding was provided by the NERC grant NE/P00265X/1 and NE/P002021/1.

***** PLEASE BE ADVISED TO USE VERSION 2.0 DATA *****

The VERSION 2.0 data set (see 'Related Data Set Metadata' link below) which contains an additional 11 months of measurements.
