The relative location of seismic sources is of importance for the location of aftershocks on a fault, for the positioning of sources in repeat seismic surveys, and for monitoring induced seismicity. In this paper I show theoretically how the seismic coda can be used to infer a measure of the relative source location of two identical seismic sources from the correlation of the waveforms recorded...

[1] The most common form of seismic exploration remains a nearly linear survey with data acquisition lines including the source and receivers. The interpretation of amplitude and waveform information for such linear acquisition requires consideration of 3D seismic wavefields. In many scenarios the structure is approximately 2D, but still modeling is needed for point sources. In recent years 2.5...

Summary White reflectivity is not a fundamental assumption in the convolutional models. However the deconvolution algorithms should be modified slightly to honour color in the reflectivity series. This color correction is just possible when enough well-log information is available to build a mathematical model for the regional reflectivity. A method for correcting reflectivity color effects in ...

In order to mitigate against possible impacts of seismic surveys on baleen whales it is important to know as much as possible about the presence of whales within the vicinity of seismic operations. This study expands on previous work that analyzes single seismic streamer data to locate nearby calling baleen whales with a grid search method that utilizes the propagation angles and relative arriv...

A method is demonstrated for recording and inverting in-line and broadside seismic refraction and reflection data to obtain three-dimensional structure and velocity information. This technique of spatial seismic refraction recording produces a superabundance of common ray intersections at the target horizon. The full power of the linear least-squares inversion method may be used in the overcons...

Magma is transported in brittle rock through dikes and sills. This movement may be accompanied by the release of seismic energy that can be tracked from the Earth’s surface. Locating dikes and deciphering their dynamics is therefore of prime importance in understanding and potentially forecasting volcanic eruptions. The Seismic Amplitude Ratio Analysis (SARA) method aims to track melt propagati...

In many areas of science and engineering, we have different sources of data. For example, in geophysics, there are many sources of data for Earth models: first-arrival passive seismic data (from the actual earthquakes), first-arrival controlled-source seismic data (from the seismic experiments), gravity data, etc. Datasets coming from different sources can provide complimentary information. In ...
