This experiment has already been deployed and data is now being processed. The experiment involved collecting about 5 weeks of broad-band, 3 component seismic data in the basement of Hinds Geophysical Lab during the months of September and October of 2023. The experiment was supported by the seismometer equipment originally provided to the PI/investigators to conduct project "Northberg" on the Milne Ice Shelf, Nunavut, Canada. When the seismometer (a single broad band) was returned to Chicago (after considerable delay) it arrived when both the graduate student and PI came down (in sequence) with Covid, and at a time when classes were beginning. The decision was made to delay sending the seismometer equipment back to Passcal for a sufficient period of time to allow the investigator and graduate student to "get back on their feet". The extra time that the seismometer equipment was on site at the University of Chicago (in our lab) was used to deploy the seismometer in a stable location in the basement of the ...
