They’re building an “ice penetrator” on a hillside in Westford // The Boston Globe
Researchers from MIT’s Haystack Observatory have built an “ice penetrator,” a device designed to monitor the conditions of sea ice and send back data via satellite “to help scientists study how the ice is changing and how it is behaving in current conditions.” Chris Eckert, a mechanical engineer at Haystack, explains, “Global warming is a real thing and we need a new class of instrumentation and measurements to truly understand it.”
