Observation of submarine tectonic activities using long term passive ocean bottom seismometers in the Ross Sea, Antarctica
A prominent continental rift is underlying the western part of the Antarctic continent. The current stretching is accompanied by active volcanism at the rim of the Ross Sea as well as underneath the thick ice sheet. Airborne radar measurements have detected active volcanoes south of the Ross Sea. Ko...
