| System | 
  Small solar/wind
and battery storage system for
year-round polar data collection. |
|||
| Location | The ANUBIS seismometers are centered at 80S, 135W in West Antarctica. Five sites, covering 500 square kilometers, are located on the Siple Coast and in central West Antarctica. | |||
| Description | "The goal of the Antarctic Network of Unattended
Broadband Seismometers Project is to deploy a network of a dozen
seismometers that will record data throughout the year. Half the
stations will be at existing Automated Geophysical Observatory (AGO)
sites in East Antarctica and half will be at sites in West Antarctica
that are powered by wind- and solar-energy. These data will fill a huge
lacuna in the global seismic dataset and provide valuable new
information about the Antarctic crust and mantle structure." Sridhar
Anandakrishnan Small solar and wind-powered units are powering five sites for year-round data collection for imaging the ice and upper crustal structure of West Antarctica.

| Data | Measure local seismicity and ice flow using seismometers. Collect broadband seismic data throughout the year. | |||
| Comms | Data is stored on-site and is down loaded by changing disks annually. |
