The Greenland Ice Seismic Experiment (GreenISE) is to investigate the structure of a perennial firn aquifer found near the surface of the Greenland ice sheet. The experiment uses high frequency active source refraction seismology to probe the hydrology and structure of the uppermost firn and ice layers of the ice sheet and four separate locales. Locations will be visited in the spring and fall to determine the variation in hydrologic setting over the Greenland summer and characterize the role of surface melting processes in ice sheets.
