Abstract
The electrical resistivity of firn and ice of ice sheets is a function of the “base” resistivity, the contact resistance between the grains, and the temperature. At greater depths temperature is the predominant influence, and observed resistivity curves can be explained by temperature variations which agree partly with the theories of heat conduction in ice sheets.Keywords
