Glacier Jeeps emailed me this photo taken on Feb 9th 2013 which shows the large quantities their building of snow gets! Some of our gear is buried!

Kirk and I will be presenting a poster titled “Using a heterogeneous sensor network to monitor glacial movement” at the 10th European Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks in Ghent.
snow starting to settle around the base station
Thanks to the daily camera image from the base station’s webcam we can see that the snow is starting to settle on the glacier.

Data retrieval
We’ve just got back from the September trip to the glacier to do some maintenance and generally prepare the systems for the winter. Whilst there Alex filmed us attempting (and succeeding in) getting data from the probes deployed in the summer.
Camera monitoring a success
automatic image taken on Aug 10th 2012 – these daily images taken with a usb webcam are useful to monitor the state of the base station, measure snow levels and observe conditions.
National Geographic funding
An award has been made from the National Geographic Society‘s Global Exploration Fund to help the Glacsweb team’s research in Iceland – and make its live data available for researchers and the public.
