Distributed Acoustic Sensing and Ice Cover Monitoring
Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is a rapidly developing technology that has already been successfully applied to solve various problems in geology, geophysics, and geoecology. Its advantages include unprecedentedly high spatial resolution, covering areas of up to a hundred kilometers or more; high sensitivity; and a broad frequency range. High-quality ice cover monitoring requires a dense network of seismic sensors. DAS can serve as an excellent complement to observation networks based on traditional seismic instruments. An expensive interrogator remains in a safe location (e.g., onshore), while the optical fiber can be considered expendable. In this article, we discuss the current state of the problem, describe our experiment conducted in February 2024 on the ice of the Klyazma reservoir, and share some conclusions and recommendations.
