Seismic Tomography in Reykjanes , SW Iceland

We present tomographic results obtained around geothermal reservoirs using seismic data recorded both on-land Reykjanes, SW-Iceland and offshore along Reykjanes Ridge. We gathered records from a network of 83 seismic stations (including 21 Ocean Bottom Seismometers) deployed between April 2014 and August 2015. We obtain crustal velocity images...

Magmatism at continental passive margins inferred from ambient-noise phase-velocity in the Gulf of Aden

Two-receiver measurements of phase velocity: cross-validation of ambient-noise and earthquake-based observations

Phase velocities derived from ambient-noise cross-correlation are compared with phase velocities calculated from cross-correlations of waveform recordings of teleseismic earthquakes whose epicentres are approximately on the station–station great circle. The comparison is conducted both for Rayleigh and Love waves using over 1000 station pairs in...

Application of seismic interferometry by multidimensional deconvolution to ambient seismic noise recorded in Malargüe, Argentina

Obtaining new seismic responses from existing recordings is generally referred to as seismic interferometry (SI). Conventionally, these seismic interferometric responses are retrieved by simple crosscorrelation of recordings made by separate receivers: a first receiver acts as a 'virtual source' whose response is retrieved at the other receivers...

Improved surface-wave response from ambient noise in Malargüe, Argentina, using seismic interferometry by multidimensional deconvolution

Generating new seismic responses from existing recordings is generally referred to as seismic interferometry (SI). Conventially, the new responses are retrieved by simple crosscorrelation of recordings made by separate receivers: a first receiver acts as `virtual source' whose response is retrieved at the other receivers. The newly retrieved...

Reflecting boundary conditions for interferometry by multidimensional deconvolution

In this work we investigate a modification of the formulation of the theory underlying seismic interferometry (SI) by multidimensional deconvolution (MDD). The current formulation, and hence method, relies on separation of waves traveling inward and outward of a volume bounded by receivers. As a consequence, it is predominantly useful when...

Stationary-phase integrals in the cross correlation of ambient noise

The cross correlation of ambient signal allows seismologists to collect data even in the absence of seismic events. “Seismic interferometry” shows that the cross correlation of simultaneous recordings of a random wavefield made at two locations is formally related to the impulse response between those locations. This idea has found many...

Magmatism on rift flanks: Insights from ambient noise phase velocity in Afar region

During the breakup of continents in magmatic settings, the extension of the rift valley is commonly assumed to initially occur by border faulting and progressively migrate in space and time toward the spreading axis. Magmatic processes near the rift flanks are commonly ignored. We present phase velocity maps of the crust and uppermost mantle of...

Stationary-phase integrals in the cross-correlation of ambient noise

On estimating attenuation from the amplitude of the spectrally whitened ambient seismic field

Measuring attenuation on the basis of interferometric, receiver-receiver surface waves is a non-trivial task: the amplitude, more than the phase, of ensemble-averaged cross-correlations is strongly affected by non-uniformities in the ambient wavefield. In addition, ambient noise data are typically pre-processed in ways that affect the amplitude...
