Evidence of active subglacial lakes under a slowly moving coastal region of the Antarctic Ice Sheet by J. F. Arthur, C. Shackleton, G. Moholdt, K. Matsuoka, J. van Oostveen

“…We present local ice surface elevation changes in the coastal DML region that we interpret as unique evidence of seven active subglacial lakes located under slowly moving ice near the grounding line margin. Laser altimetry data from ICESat-2 and ICESat (Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellites) combined with multi-temporal Reference Digital Elevation Model of Antarctica (REMA) strips reveal that these lakes actively fill and drain over periods of several years. …”

Optomechanical Gyroscope Based on Micro-Hemispherical Shell and Optical Ring Resonators by Jamal N. A. Hassan, Wenyi Huang, Maoyuan Wang, Senyu Zhang, Guangjun Wen, Yongjun Huang

“…Numerical simulations demonstrated the optomechanical micro-hemispherical shell resonator gyroscope could attain a calculated scale factor of 77.9 mV/(°/s) and total angle random walk of 0.0662 °/h^1/2 for a micro-hemispherical shell mass of 212 ng at an input laser power of 5 mW. These performance metrics suggest the proposed integrated optomechanical gyroscope design holds promise for applications requiring chip-scale inertial navigation, attitude measurement, and stabilization.…”
