We are running an active seismic line at the toe of the rock-covered Sourdough Glacier to determine debris layer and ice thickness as well as depth to bedrock. This data will be correlated to existing and newly acquired radar data. The overall project is to study debris covered glacier properties as Mars analogs in regards to formation, preservation, and in situ resource utilization.
