Ground penetrating radar (GPR)
GPR is tested as a method to detect oil under sea ice (0.6 - 0.9 meter) and oil covered with snow spilled on top of ice.

This work is performed in close cooperation with at Boise University, USA. The GPR system is operated both handheld on the ice and airborn from a helicopter.
