radarfilm.studio

radarfilm.studio (https://www.radarfilm.studio/) provides an interface to browse, label, and download nearly 1000 rolls of digitized optical film containing data from the earliest large-scale ice-penetrating radar survey of Antarctica and Greenland. The data available here was gathered in the late 1960s and 1970s as part of airborne geophysical surveys that have been digitized and remastered by as part of collaborations between Stanford University, the Scott Polar Research Institute, and the Technical University of Denmark.

Open Radar Code Architecture (ORCA)

ORCA (https://orca.radioglaciology.com/) is a platform for building low-cost, flexible, and field-proven radar instruments for the cryosphere. ORCA is the base project for Peregrine, a field-portable ice-penetrating radar UAV, MAPPERR, a multi-frequency radar/radiometer, and EYAS, a bistatic ice-penetrating radar receiver. This website provides documentation for the ORCA codebase, along with instructions for building each of these open-source instruments. We also provide general strategies for extending our code to develope radar instruments customized to your research needs.

Glaciological Radar Instrumentation

Our research group develops and maintains a growing suite of bespoke ice penetrating radar systems. We are always happy to discuss their potential use and availability for deployment as part of glaciological field experiments with collaborators and colleagues. Email dustin.m.schroeder@stanford.edu if you’re interested starting a conversations about our instruments.
