POLENET is a global network dedicated to observing the polar regions in a changing world.
The project focuses on collecting GNSS and seismic data from autonomous systems deployed at remote sites spanning much of the Antarctic ice sheets. GNSS and seismic measurements together provide a means to answer critical questions about ice sheet behavior in a warming world.
