The term icequake refers to a wide variety of rapid deformation processes in glaciers, icebergs, ice shelves, and ice sheets that generate seismic waves. Specific examples include firn collapse events; crevasse growth, iceberg calving or collision, ice shelf rifting, stick-slip motion along the ice-bed interface.[1]. Icequakes are distinct from glacial earthquakes in that the latter are much larger scale and therefore regionally or globally detectable with modern seismic networks [2]. Icequakes, in contrast, are smaller and typically detected with local-scale seismic networks[3]. Icequakes are studied by glaciologists because their occurrence is related to glacier and ice sheet stability, specifically with regard to the physics of glacier sliding [4][5] and iceberg calving[6]
