Summary
Abstract: Metadata record for data expected from ASAC Project 2919
See the link below for public details on this project.

Public
Beneath the East Antarctic interior lies a great mountain range, the Gamburtsev Mountains. These sub-glacial giants have not been investigated since the 1950's yet they underlie the core of the first Antarctic ice sheet and hold the key to the stability of this vast region East ... View entire text

Project
Quality The values provided in spatial and temporal coverage are approximate only.

We propose a broadband seismic transect across the northern flank of the Gamburtsev Mountains in the heart of East Antarctica. The line of 6 earthquake recorders between the southern Lambert Glacier region and the ice topographic 'high' at Dome Argus would form part of a flagship ... View entire text
