With mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet accelerating and spreading to higher latitudes, the quantification of mass discharge in the form of icebergs has recently received much scientific attention. Here, we make use of very low frequency (0.001-0.01 Hz) seismic data from three permanent broadban...
