The dataset presented here contains a csv-file including the coordinates, received power of the bed reflection and the two-way travel time of the bed reflection. The X and Y coordinates are projected in EPSG:3031 - WGS 84 / Antarctic Polar Stereographic coordinate system. Data presented here have been frequency filtered and 2D migrated (using a finite difference approach and migration velocity of 0.168 m ns-1), followed by the picking of the bed reflection using ReflexW software (Sandmeier Scientific Software). The received power is calculated within a 280 ns time window centred on, and encompassing, the bed reflection (Gades et al., 2000). This work was funded within the BEAMISH project by NERC AFI award numbers NE/G014159/1 and NE/G013187/1.

This dataset contains ASCII files with hypocenter information, event times and magnitudes for 227029 micro-earthquakes with a magnitude range from -2.0 to -0.3 recorded from a 35-station seismic network located ~40 km upstream of the grounding line of Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica. For 87910 of these events, earthquake focal mechanisms (strike/dip/rake) are available. The seismic network, which recordings are the base for the event catalogue, broadly formed a rectangle with 1 km station spacing. Details on the station locations, instrument types and operation periods are included in these data files. The event catalogue encloses the geographic region between 084.142 to 083.760 degrees West and 78.204 to 78.113 degrees South. Events are located between 1.553 and 2.416 km depth. Recording took place between 20th November 2018 and 16th February 2019. The spatio-temporal arrangement of these micro-earthquakes can be used to characterize frictional properties at the ice-bed interface of Rutford Ice Stream. This work was funded within the BEAMISH project by NERC AFI award numbers NE/G014159/1 and NE/G013187/1. Seismic instruments were provided by NERC SEIS-UK (Loan 1017) and the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) through the PASSCAL Instrument Center at New Mexico Tech.

This dataset contains an ASCII file with shear wave splitting results for 202,651 station-event pairs from glacial micro-seismicity, recorded from a 35-station seismic network located ~40 km upstream of the grounding line of Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica. Microseismicity is located at the base of the ice stream at ~2.2 km depth (relative to the ice surface). Seismic waveform data, which was used to calculate shear wave splitting parameters is provided in miniseed format. Event hypocenter information, event times and coordinates of receiving stations are listed in the ASCII file. Shear wave splitting was calculated using the software MFAST. Shear wave splitting parameters can be used to determine seismic anisotropy along the ray path, which helps to characterise ice fabric.

The dataset presented here focuses on the area of a prominent bedform beneath the Rutford Ice Stream, referred to as "the Bump". The provided dataset contains several CSV files including the coordinates, two-way travel time of the bed reflection, the reflectivity of the bed reflection and acoustic impedance of the bed reflection, respectively. The X and Y coordinates are projected in EPSG:3031 - WGS 84 / Antarctic Polar Stereographic coordinate system. Radar topography presented here were frequency filtered and 3D migrated (using a 3D Kirchhoff Time Migration approach in SeisSpace/ProMAX (LGCHalliburton Software) and migration velocity of 0.168 m ns-1), followed by the picking of the bed reflection using Petrel (Schlumberger Software). Radar reflectivity was calculated from 2D migrated radar data following the processing routine as described in Schlegel et al. (2022) including frequency filtering and 2D migration in SeisSpace/ProMAX. Seismic acoustic impedance of the bed reflection was calculated following Smith et al. (2007). This work was funded within the BEAMISH project by NERC AFI award numbers NE/G014159/1 and NE/G013187/1 and NE/F015879/1, and by NERC National Capability Science: Strategic Research & Innovation Short Projects.
