ABSTRACT Glacial earthquakes are slow earthquakes of magnitude M ~5 associated with major calving events at near-grounded marine-terminating glaciers. These globally detectable earthquakes provide information on the grounding state of outlet glaciers and the timing of large calving events. Seismic s...
