The deployment of a seismic network along the Adelie and George V coasts in East Antarctica during the period 2009-2012 provides the opportunity to monitor cryoseismic activity and to obtain new insights on the relationship between tidal cycles and coastal glacier dynamics. Here we focus on records...
