Abstract:

In the Antarctic Peninsula region a number of research stations are measuring seismic and infrasound signals and some are also part of the CTBTO IMS. The region is exposed to earthquakes, tsunamis and cyclonic activity. The measurements are ongoing for a long time allowing an assessment of climate change. Satellite observations have made a tremendous breakthrough in the study of the continent but ground-based measurements are still lagging behind. There are perennial datasets of microseismic and acoustic noise, which are associated, for example, with cyclonic activity in the region and the presence of ice cover in the water area. Additional local monitoring of cryoseismic over the years can also contribute to climate research.
