Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) promises to be quite useful for geophysical observation of the cryosphere. In order to better understand the limitations of DAS technology in cold regions, we will deploy a Silixa iDAS in a snow-covered field in Vermont. We are requesting eight geophones from PASSCAL to provide a baseline measurement against which we will compare the DAS system.
