The field investigations were carried out as part of the Icefield Ranges Research Project. The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to investigate seismic velocity inhomogeneity and anisotropy in strongly deformed glacier ice; and (2) to determine the form and dimension of that part of a sub-glacia...
