Chris Allen, University of Kansas, installs the digital chassis on the Multichannel Coherent Radar Depth Sounder (MCoRDS) electronics system. MCoRDS measures ice sheet thickness and also maps the varied terrain below the ice, which is important for computer modeling of the ice's future behavior. Credit: Jane Peterson, NSERC
