Long-period magnetotelluric data collected on the north-east Greenland Ice Sheet, 2019

The goal of MAGPIE is to improve estimates of present-day ice melting rates in Greenland by accurately correcting observed uplift rates for glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) from past deglaciation. A key parameter required for constraining uplift rates for GIA is mantle viscosity, which can best be...

Description
Summary:The goal of MAGPIE is to improve estimates of present-day ice melting rates in Greenland by accurately correcting observed uplift rates for glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) from past deglaciation. A key parameter required for constraining uplift rates for GIA is mantle viscosity, which can best be calculated from combined seismic and MT measurements. The data in this repository represent the first year of MAGPIE data collection. This data publication (10.5880/GIPP-MT.201913.1) encompasses a detailed report in pdf format with a description of the project, information on the experimental setup, data collection, instrumentation used, recording configuration and data quality. The folder structure and content of the data repository are described in detail in Ritter et al. (2019). Time-series data are provided in EMERALD format (Ritter et al., 2015).
