MARC recordMicro-earthquakes beneath ice streams B and C, west Antarctica: observations and implications / S. Anandakrishnan, Charles R. Bentley.
| Title: | Micro-earthquakes beneath ice streams B and C, west Antarctica: observations and implications / S. Anandakrishnan, Charles R. Bentley. |

| Abstract: | Subglacial micro-earthquakes have been monitored at two locations on Ice Stream B and one on C, using specially built seismographic array. They are 20 times more abundant beneath C than beneath B, despite 100 times more rapid movement of B, and contribute more to motion of ice stream by three orders of magnitude in absolute velocity, which contributes five orders of magnitude more, relative to ice-stream velocity. This result emphasizes importance of basal till in controlling ice-stream flow. Can be presumed that micro-earthquakes were much fewer beneath C when it was active, and that activity has increased as result of decrease in porosity of subglacial till. Implication is that transition of flow of ice stream from fast to slow occurred through dewatering and loss of dilantancy in lubricating till layer. |
