We aim to establish an Antarctic-based set of seismic instruments, a mobile facility, to provide data to help predict how ice sheets will evolve and how the continent under the ice sheets will respond to changes in ice load. Our approach to tackling such significant questions is innovative, and makes use of newly available, rapid deployment instruments that may be deployed in ice by a small team with light logistics. Outcomes will include maps of sub-ice sediments and 3D images of the deep Earth. The facility will thus enable new knowledge relating to major ice sheets. Interdisciplinary use of the research will benefit Australia through an improved ability to plan for future sea level rise in areas with large coastal populations.

我们的目标是建立一套基于南极的地震仪器，即移动设施，以提供数据来帮助预测冰盖将如何演变以及冰盖下的大陆将如何响应冰载荷的变化。 我们解决此类重大问题的方法是创新的，并利用新可用的快速部署工具，这些工具可以由一个具有轻型后勤保障的小团队在冰上部署。 结果将包括冰下沉积物地图和地球深处的 3D 图像。 因此，该设施将提供有关主要冰盖的新知识。 这项研究的跨学科应用将提高澳大利亚沿海人口众多地区应对未来海平面上升的规划能力，从而使澳大利亚受益。
