Monitoring and Locating Changes in the Elastic Properties of the Crust with Ambient Seismic Noise Interferometry
نویسنده
چکیده
In highly heterogeneous media waves do not propagate ballistically. They interact several times with the heterogeneities of the medium and enter the multiple scattering regime. In this regime, classical imaging techniques based on direct or singly scattered waves fail. This is typically the case in fault zones and volcanoes, two highly heterogeneous structures that are of great interest for many geoscientists.

Time-lapse monitoring of internal erosion in earthen dams and levees using ambient seismic noise
Earthen dams and levees are prone to progressive failure through internal erosion of their structure. Internal erosion is often invisible to current methods of inspection until it manifests itself at the exterior surface. This study focuses on the novel use of passive seismic interferometry to monitor temporal changes in earthen embankments caused by internal erosion. This technique uses the am...
متن کاملRadial anisotropy in the crust of SE Tibet and SW China from ambient noise interferometry
[1] We use Rayleigh and Love wave Green’s functions estimated from ambient seismic noise to study crustal structure and radial anisotropy in the tectonically complex and seismically active region west of the Sichuan Basin and around the Eastern Himalaya Syntaxis. In agreement with previous studies, low velocity zones are ubiquitous in the mid‐lower crust, with substantial variations both latera...
متن کاملCombined use of repeated active shots and ambient noise to detect temporal changes in seismic velocity: application to Sakurajima volcano, Japan
Coda-wave interferometry is a technique to detect small seismic velocity changes using phase changes in similar waveforms from repeating natural or artificial sources. Seismic interferometry is another technique for detecting seismic velocity changes from cross-correlation functions of ambient seismic noise. We simultaneously use these two techniques to clarify seismic velocity changes at Sakur...
متن کاملMonitoring transient changes within overpressured regions of subduction zones using ambient seismic noise
In subduction zones, elevated pore fluid pressure, generally linked to metamorphic dehydration reactions, has a profound influence on the mechanical behavior of the plate interface and forearc crust through its control on effective stress. We use seismic noise-based monitoring to characterize seismic velocity variations following the 2012 Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica earthquake [M w (moment mag...
متن کاملMonitoring southwest Greenland’s ice sheet melt with ambient seismic noise
The Greenland ice sheet presently accounts for ~70% of global ice sheet mass loss. Because this mass loss is associated with sea-level rise at a rate of 0.7 mm/year, the development of improved monitoring techniques to observe ongoing changes in ice sheet mass balance is of paramount concern. Spaceborne mass balance techniques are commonly used; however, they are inadequate for many purposes be...
