Project Name and Acronym:
LISSA (Lithospheric and Intraplate Structure and Seismicity in Antarctica)
Principal Contacts for Data
Denis Lombardi, Royal Observatory of Belgium, denis.lombardi@oma.be
Project Scientists
Denis Lombardi, Royal Observatory of Belgium, denis.lombardi@oma.be
Thierry Camelbeeck, Royal Observatory of Belgium, thierry.camelbeeck@oma.be
Project Locations
Dronning Maud land (S 71°56’48.1; E23°20’46.8)
Project Activities
Deployment of a borehole broadband seismometer
Principal Science Objectives
Investigating intra-plate seismic activity and the lithospheric structure around the Belgian station site
Research Highlights
First continuous seismic measurements in that area. Worth of note: station on the bedrock 180 km inland

Project Locations
Droning Maud land (S 71°56’48.1; E23°20’46.8)
Project Activities
Deployment of 2 permanent GPS stations
Principal Science Objectives
Quantifying the present ice mass variation in the region of the Princess Elisabeth base in Antarctica and to better understand its relation with crust deformation in polar regions, using GPS and absolute gravity measurements
Research Highlights
First continuous GPS measurements in that area. Worth of note: station on the bedrock 180 km inland
