Description

This is a re-request of experiment #202157, which shows as canceled. We are building a scientific instrument that address the observational gap that exists in Antarctic ice-shelf glaciology for timescales shorter than the few-day ice-fields provided by satellite geodesy and imagery. Monitoring how ice shelves respond to changing oceanic and atmospheric conditions is critically needed, but obtaining such measurements is technologically and logistically challenging. The instrument integrates seismometer and GPS sensors into a single broadband scientific instrument with data download capabilities in near-real time. This scientific device will be packaged into an ice penetrator that can be dropped onto an ice shelf from an airborne platform.
