Regional passive seismic monitoring reveals dynamic glacier activity on Spitsbergen, Svalbard [PDF]
Polar Research, 2015 Dynamic glacier activity is increasingly observed through passive seismic monitoring. We analysed near-regional-scale seismicity on the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard to identify seismic icequake signals and to study their spatial–temporal distribution ...
