SUB-ICE MARINE AND PLANETARY-ANALOG ECOSYSTEMS (SIMPLE) HOT WATER DRILL SYSTEM
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
In the 2012 and 2014 austral summer field seasons, the Science Management Office (SMO) of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) supported the NASA SIMPLE (Sub-Ice Marine and PLanetary-analog Ecosystems) Project by providing access holes through the McMurdo Ice Shelf using a hot water drill system (HWDS).
Description
In 2012, the access hole used by the SIMPLE Project was the Whillans Ice-Stream Sub-glacial Access Research Drilling (WISSARD) Project test hole near McMurdo Station (77.890278S, 167.00833E), which was provided to the SIMPLE Project after the WISSARD testing was completed.
In 2014, a series of holes were made at five (5) different sites on the McMurdo Ice Shelf using the UNL-SMO's roving HWDS, which was moved from site to site with assistance from tractors provided by the US Antarctic Program's logistics provider, Lockheed-Martin Antarctic Support Contractor (ASC). The five sites were occupied in the following order: Site F (77.974228 S, 166.482092 E), Site D (78.011758 S, 166.975683 E), Site B (77.901336 S, 167.276544 E), Site E (78.097928 S, 166.600536 E), and Site C (77.991522 S, 167.210903 E).
