Gamburtsev Antarctic Mountains Seismic Experiment

Led by Pennsylvania State University and Washington University at St. Louis, GAMSEIS is deploying broadband seismometers to image the structure of the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains. These images will provide insight into what is driving these mountains upward and how this motion has shaped the formation of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.
