Active seismic studies in valley glacier settings: strategies and limitations

Active seismic studies in valley glacier settings: strategies and limitations

Subglacial tills play an important role in glacier dynamics but are difficult to characterize in situ. Amplitude Variation with Angle (AVA) analysis of seismic reflection data can distinguish between stiff tills and deformable tills. However, AVA analysis in mountain glacier environments can be prob...
