New Approach on Seismic Survey on Subglacial Lakes

A02 NEW APPROACH ON SEISMIC SURVEY ON SUBGLACIAL LAKES Abstract 1 The main obiective of ELSA project in December 2003 was to verify the applicability of the reflection sismic method for the definition of subglacial structures in the antarctic icecap.. The purposes of the survey were to verify: the correct operation of the recording system the acquisiton parameters p based on the theoretical models and the quality of the obtainable data by the use of different types of sources and acquisition geometries. Introduction The subglacial lakes are water bodies enclosed between the base of the glacial column and the bedrock.
