Changing friction at the base of an Alpine glacier

Abstract Repeating earthquakes are a global phenomenon of tectonic faults. Multiple ruptures on the same fault asperities lead to nearly identical waveforms characteristic for these seismic events. We identify their microseismic counterparts beneath an Alpine glacier, where basal sliding accounts fo...
