The aim of this research project is to create a catalog of seismic and acoustic events recorded at the Akademik Vernadsky station. The cataloged data will be used to determine the impact of earthquakes originating in the Wadati-Benioff zone (with hypocenter depths of 500–650 km) on the glaciers of the Antarctic Peninsula. The project seeks to establish fundamental interrelationships between deep Earth geodynamic processes and the stability of the Antarctic Peninsula's cryosphere, as well as to assess the destructive impact of mantle earthquakes on the integrity of the ice cover and their role in triggering glacier movement.
