EAGE Local Chapter Paris

Online Event organized by EAGE Local Chapter Paris

Speaker: William HarcourtWhy did an Arctic glacier suddenly speed up? In this talk, the results of a project studying the active "surge" of a glacier in Svalbard will be discussed. This survey is using a unique combination of drones, seismometers, Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) surveys, palaeo-glaciological analysis and satellite velocity measurements. Surges are cyclical events. Surge-type glaciers remain slow for long periods of time and then suddenly speed up, largely unpredictably. Measurements acquired for this project contribute to a better understanding of the processes driving glacier surges and their impacts on iceberg calving.
