The human body makes widespread use of electrical signals and cell membranes have remarkable electrical properties. The conductivity of muscle tissue varies with frequency and this dependence can be measured with fairly simple equipment. Making measu

A drop of water falling gently on to a cold copper surface freezes to it, forming a curious minaret-shaped pellet of ice. The shear tractive force necessary then to remove the ice pellet depends on the initial temperature of the metal: it is a maximu

The historical problem of determining longitude at sea is well known. Modern tables of astronomical data that were not available in the 18th century, however, now allow students to make a simple experimental determination of their own longitude.

Storglaciären (lat. 67.5° N., long. 17.5° E.) is a sub-polar glacier which has been the object of detailed study for many years. It responds in a sensitive way to annual and long-term changes in climate but it does not surge. Conditions at the bed

Laboratory experiments show that pieces of melting ice about one centimetre across, moving under normal loads across roughened glass surfaces, travel much faster than regelation theory predicts. The discrepancy is as much as 40 times for the finest s

Summary. The paper discusses the phase-sensitive radio-echo sounder as an instrument for probing the detailed shape of a reflecting glacier bed. Results from laboratory model experiments and from field experiments in the Arctic are presented, togethe

We discuss the suggestion that small underwater transmitters might be used to illuminate the interior of major englacial water channels with radio waves. Once launched, the radio waves would naturally tend to be guided along the channels until attenu

A polarization-sensitive aperture-synthesis experiment has been carried out using radio-echo data from Storglaciären, Sweden. Echoes were recorded in each of three antenna configurations over an array of sites on the glacier surface. The echo inform

Field measurements are presented of dielectric absorption in Antarctic snow and ice at frequencies of a few hundred megahertz. They are compared with measurements by other authors at very high frequencies. The dielectric absorption in ice at these fr
