Funded Activity Summary
Earth’s response to ice unloading: a unique GPS measurement from Antarctica . Earth's response to ice unloading - a unique GPS measurement from Antarctica: This project aims to deploy geophysical equipment including global navigation satellite systems within Antarctica to understand how Earth responds to changes in stress (rheology) within the crust and upper mantle (the upper ~660 km). It exploits a globally-unique natural experiment that commenced in 2002 with the break-up of the Larsen B Ice Shelf and which was followed by large-scale ice-mass unloading and rapid surface deformation. New broadband passive seismic and geodetic deformation measurements offer the promise of resolving a dichotomy between laboratory and millennial-scale determinations of Earth rheology through uniquely studying a time-scale mid-way between these extremes, whilst further strengthening Australia's emerging expertise in polar geophysics.Funded Activity Details
