The aim of this project at the University of Southampton, is to develop technology to monitor glacier behaviour using sensor networks. In doing this we are contributing to fundamental research in glaciology and wireless sensor networks. The current funding from Leverhulme is to work on "ice quakes"
Custom sensor probes are placed in, on and under glaciers and data collected from them by a base station on the surface. Measurements include temperature, pressure, stress, weather and subglacial movement. The information gathered is important in understanding the dynamics of glaciers as well as global warming and the project has produced useful new data.
Iceland research - 2007 onwards
Norway research - 2003-7
Real-Time, Remote Erosion Monitoring in Tijuana, Mexico - new trial of the probes
In 2006 we were on BBC TV News. Watch again: mpeg1video ( 33MB) Fullsize (100MB)
