f. Contributions from visiting foreign scientists

Dr. Sepp Kipfstuhl from the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany accompanied us into the field as part of our collaboration with AWI. Dr. Kipfstuhl provided valuable expertise in glaciology and ice core drilling and obtained samples in particular from MES for computer tomography analysis to study crystal and gas bubble characteristics in firn and ice. In addition, the AWI intermediate depth ice core drilling system was used to recover all three cores.
