Ground penetrating radar common-midpoint gathers from Antarctica's Larsen C Ice Shelf, Nov 2017, following the calving of Iceberg A68
GB/NERC/BAS/PDC/01227

Summary

Abstract:
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) data were acquired at a site on Antarctica's Larsen C Ice Shelf, in November 2017. The acquisition was performed to measure radar anisotropy, a potential proxy for the stress condition in the upper ice shelf, following the calving of Iceberg A68 in July 2017. Two GPR common midpoint (CMP) gathers were acquired at Site S2, a site previously surveyed during the NERC funded NE/E013414/1 SOLIS project. These gathers were acquired first with GPR antennas extended in the flow-parallel direction (~ east), and then in the flow-orthogonal direction. The GPR system is a Sensors & Software pulseEKKO PRO, with 200 MHZ antennas. All acquisitions were performed by Dr Jim White (British Geological Survey) and Emma Pearce (University of Leeds, School of Earth and Environment), with support from BAS.

The data is part of the NERC RACE project, NE/R012334/1.
