Electronic Detection of Serac Avalanches and Glacier Noise at Vaughan Lewis Icefall, Alaska
Abstract Design details of a portable, light-weight, seismic recording system are presented together with data concerning sensitivity and frequency response. Field procedures and methods are described with emphasis on coupling the hydrophone detector to waves propagating in the glacier ice. Two of t...
