The occurrence of seismic events in glaciers has been an issue in the scientific literature since the early 1950s, following the report about icequakes in Baffin Island. Targeted seismological studies were undertaken by the Polish Expedition to Spitsbergen in 1962 and then continued at various glaciers in the Arctic, Antarctic and the Alps. The author of the book has been engaged in the project since 1970; he designed the layout of observations and instrumentation. The quakes he observed were categorized into two groups: typical seismic events called icequakes, and relatively long-period events named ice vibrations. In the case of icequakes, the space-time distributions and focal parameters were determined. In the case of ice vibrations, a spectral analysis was made. The present book is a synthesis of the results obtained. There are reports that the number of seismic events in glaciers has recently grown, which may be related to changing geometry of glaciers due to changing thermal conditions.

Glacially triggered faulting describes movement of pre-existing faults caused by a combination of tectonic and glacially induced isostatic stresses. The most impressive fault-scarps are found in northern Europe, assumed to be reactivated at the end of the deglaciation. This view has been challenged as new faults have been discovered globally with advanced techniques such as LiDAR, and fault activity dating has shown several phases of reactivation thousands of years after deglaciation ended. This book summarizes the current state-of-the-art research in glacially triggered faulting, discussing the theoretical aspects that explain the presence of glacially induced structures and reviews the geological, geophysical, geodetic and geomorphological investigation methods. Written by a team of international experts, it provides the first global overview of confirmed and proposed glacially induced faults, and provides an outline for modelling these stresses and features. It is a go-to reference for geoscientists and engineers interested in ice sheet-solid Earth interaction.

The Applicability Of Seismic Refraction Soundings In Permafrost Near Thule Greenland written by Hans Roethlisberger and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1961 with Frozen ground categories.
The applicability of the seismic refraction method for engineering purposes was investigated in the Thule area of Greenland. Special attention was given to the cases in which shallow ice overlies frozen ground and in which frozen glacial drift up to a few hundred feet thick overlies bedrock. Seismic velocities were measured in different types of sediments of the Thule formation and in the crystalline basement rock. The velocities in rock and frozen ground were generally high, cementation by ice being the most likely reason at the relatively low ground temperatures of about -10 C. It was found that, with comparable velocity discrimination, the refraction method gives more complete information in permafrost than in unfrozen material, since later seismic events can be identified on the records shortly after the first arrival. Later events also made wide angle reflection soundings possible at a depth as shallow as 200 ft. A nagative velocity gradient in the frozen ground is believed to be responsible for the rapid attenuation of tthe direct wave. (Author).
