UT's Kristian Chan on an Antarctic Survey

Caption

Kristian Chan, a graduate student at The University of Texas at Austin Jackson School of Geosciences, operating an ice-penetrating radar during an aerial survey of an Antarctic ice sheet. Chan developed a technique that boosts the radar’s normally low resolution, allowing it to image hidden features in the ice sheet’s upper layers.
