Brief Description (Abstract):

The results of the seismic investigations around the Indian base station in Antarctica have established the efficacy of the seismic reflection methods in delineating sub-shelf structures. The results of the seismic interpretation, in conjunction with those obtained from magnetic studies, have led to the proposition of a structural model describing the thicknesses of ice-shelf and underlying water and glacial sediment layers above the basement. This model explains a number of geomorphological features in the region.

Status: Completed

Purpose: The seismic records were interpreted in conjunction with the results obtained from the magnetic survey and based on this interpretation a structural model of the ice-shelf around the Indian Permanent Station has been proposed.
