Detection of subsurface structures by means of gravity method can be used to determine mass distribution and density contrast of rock units. This distribution could be detected by different geophysical methods, especially gravity method. However, gravity techniques have some drawbacks and can't be always successful in distinguishing subsurface structures. Performance of the gravity technique co...

Seismic image and velocity models were obtained from a newly conducted seismic survey around the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Japan Trench Fast Drilling Project (JFAST) drill site in the Japan Trench. Pre-stack depth migration (PSDM) analysis was applied to the multichannel seismic reflection data to produce an accurate depth seismic profile together with a P wave velocity model alo...

iran is situated in one of the world's seismic regions and the possibility of destructive earthquakes in most regions of the country has given great significance to recognition of iranian seismic nature from a seismic and seismotectonic standpoint. study of the crust and upper mantle velocity structure in the iranian plateau provides better understanding of its evolution and tectonic histo...

seismic piezocone device (scptu) together with resonant column and cyclic triaxial test apparatus are employed to measure small strain shear modulus (g0) of carbonate sandy and clayey soils of southern coasts of iran. a large area of southern regions of iran is formed from clay, silt and sand. in this study, maximum shear modulus that is derived from both field (by seismic piezocone) and labora...

seismic refraction and downhole survey were employed to study dynamic characteristics of subsurface materials in bam city, southeast of iran. the data acquisition was performed at 160 p and s-wave refraction stations and 15 boreholes in the city. to derive velocity depth sections along these profiles as well as to perform downhole diagrams, seisimager software was used. based on the obtained va...

the mixture of natural and artificial seismic sources with random distributions cause diffuse wave field with random amplitudes and phases called noise. when noise is analyzed in a long-term process, it contains surface waves which are spread in all directions. thus, ambient noise contains data relevant to the surface waves. in recent years, as broadband seismic networks have been distributed v...

it is very important to study and simulate s-wave structure for near surface (alluvium parts, in particular) owing to its direct relationship to urban facilities in geotechnical and earthquake engineering studies. so, in seismic microzonation, the first step is to study and identify s-wave pattern in alluvium in order to categorize different parts of cites according to s-wave velocity. current ...

investigation of velocity structure based on seismic wave propagation have been performed in recent years in different parts of iran that results obtained is effective in the analysis of seismic zones and locate earthquakes with reasonable accuracy. on a broad scale, the seismotectonics of southern iran are controlled by active convergence between the arabian and eurasian tectonic plates that a...

Seismic noise interferometry allows the continuous and real-time measurement of relative seismic velocity through a volcanic edifice. Because seismic velocity is sensitive to the pressurization state of the system, this method is an exciting new monitoring tool at active volcanoes. Despite the potential of this tool, no studies have yet comprehensively compared velocity to other geophysical obs...
