Summary Fjords are noisy places (what does this mean for marine ecosystem?) Pressurized bubbles in glacier ice create loud high frequency (1-5kHz) signal in water column during melt (distinctively different than sea ice) Calving Event: Low Freq Rumble pre calving (ice fracture?) All Freqs Bang (berg hits water?) High Freq wave action post calving (seiche?) Fjords are noisy places (what does this mean for marine ecosystem?)

What is possible around WAIS? Monitoring for subglacial outburst floods? (depends on how turbulent/bubbly the discharge event is) Measuring sub ice-shelf melt rate? Observe wave/ice interactions? Variability in ice surface conditions? Rifting events? Other ideas? Monitoring for subglacial outburst floods?

What happens to this water when it exits the glacier? Sediment also comes out with the water Freshwater is less dense than salt water – it is buoyant, rises turbulently to the surface.
