Seeing the Unseen Icequakes in Antarctic with Advanced Seismic Array Analysis
Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich
Lay summary
Icequakes, largely undetectable through conventional approaches, are crucial for understanding glacier activities and their dynamic response to changing climate conditions. I propose to develop an effective approach for detecting and locating icequakes by leveraging the latest developments in polar science and array-seismology facilities built in Australia. Through applications to array observations in the Antarctic, I aim to build a catalog of icequakes characterised by their temporal occurrence and spatial distributions, which will differentiate from and complement existing polar catalogs. The results will provide significant insights into the glacier activities and contribute to broader efforts to monitor glacial changes in polar environments.
