 Abstract: Rapidly-rising jökulhlaups, or glacial lake outburst floods, are a phenomenon with a high potential for damage. The initiation and propagation processes of a rapidly-rising jökulhlaup are still not fully understood. Seismic monitoring can contribute to an improved process understanding, but comprehensive long-term seismic monitoring campaigns capturing the dynamics of a rapidly-rising jökulhlaup are rare. In 2012, we installed a seismic network at the marginal, ice-dammed lake of the A.P. Olsen Ice Cap in NE-Greenland. Episodic outbursts from the lake cause flood waves in the Zackenberg river, characterized by a rapid discharge increase within a few hours. We deployed industrial geophones (4.5 Hz) for the five on-ice stations. Two stations were designed as mini-arrays with three vertical sensors, and the remaining ones were equipped with three-component sensors. All sensors were sunk about 3 m into the ice. Our 6 months long seismic dataset comprises the whole fill-and-drain cycle of the ice-dammed lake in 2012 and includes one of the most destructive floods recorded so far for the Zackenberg river. Seismic event detection reveals periods of high seismicity during enhanced surface melting prior to the outburst flood. During the outburst itself the number of detected events dropped due to the elevated seismic tremor level. Based on waveform characteristics and event localization we detected potential basal events. We will present and discuss the temporal and spatial evolution of basal events throughout the entire fill-and-drain cycle of the jökulhlaup.
