Observation of a glacier calving event using a network of GPS and Seismic sensors

The focus is on the Helheim ice ocan fjord because of both the rapid change it has experienced and because of the logistical advantage of having a large town located nearby. This experiment will use state of the art geodetic and seismic techniques to quantify the dynamical behavior of an ice front during a calving event.

本研究聚焦赫尔海姆冰海峡湾（Helheim Ice Ocean Fjord），原因在于该区域既经历了显著的快速变化，又因附近坐落大型城镇而具备得天独厚的后勤优势。本实验将采用当前最先进的大地测量与地震技术，对冰锋（ice front）在冰崩事件（calving event）中的动力学行为进行量化分析。
