Borehole fibre-optic seismology inside the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream

Andreas Fichtner, Coen Hofstede, Lars Gebraad +3

Ice streams are major contributors to ice sheet mass loss and sea level rise. Effects of their dynamic behaviour are imprinted into seismic properties, such as wave speeds and anis…
