Evaluating Seismic Ambient Noise Techniques for Detecting Ice‐Bearing Rocks on the Moon

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract One of the primary objectives of upcoming lunar missions is to locate ice‐bearing rocks at the South Pole. While evidence for their presence exists, the exact distribution and quantity remain uncertain. In this study, we evaluate the potential of seismic ambient noise techniques—including seismic interferometry, H/V spectral ratios ...
