Simultaneous teleseismic and geodetic observations of the stickslip motion of an Antarctic ice stream
Simultaneous teleseismic and geodetic observations of the stickslip motion of an Antarctic ice stream
Long-period seismic sources associated with glacier motion have been recently discovered, and an increase in ice flow over the past decade has been suggested on the basis of secular changes in such measurements. Their significance, however, remains uncertain, as a relationship to ice flow has not been confirmed by direct observation. Here the authors combine long-period surface-wave observations with simultaneous Global Positioning System measurements of ice displacement to study the tidally modulated stick
