Project aim
The project involves the use of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty hydroacoustic listening station off Cape Leeuwin, Western Australia, to remotely detect and analyse rifting and calving events on the Eastern Antarctic ice shelves. This new type of observation is expected to provide an efficient method for long-term continuous monitoring of climatic change in the Antarctic ice sheet.

The calving activity of the Antarctic ice shelves is one of the major indicators of global climate change. Whereas massive calving events are well observed post factum from satellites, ice rifting and ice shelf breaks of smaller volumes are not monitored and statistically analysed.
