Icy secrets: Non-destructive probing of ice masses and their surroundings with geophysical methods

Geophysical methods are powerful tools to investigate the properties of ice and determine the characteristics of subglacial environments. As such examples from terrestrial ice masses provide insight into possible exploitation of such methods for the exploratio of extraterrestrial ice bodies like the icy moons in the solar system. This talk gives an overview of the main applications of geophysical methods in cryospheric sciences and highlights ongoing efforts to improve our understanding of ice properties in the future
