Polychronopoulou, Katerina (author), Malinowski, Michal (author), Cyz, Marta (author), Martakis, Nikos (author), Apostolopoulos, George (author), Draganov, D.S. (author)As the global need for aluminum constantly rises, bauxite is considered to be a critical mineral, and the mining industry is in search of new and effective exploration solutions. In this context, we design and implement a purely earthquake-based passive seismic survey at the Gerolekas bauxite mining site in Greece. It is a very difficult...journal article 2023

Chamarczuk, Michał (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Quiros, Diego (author), Malinowski, Michał (author)Most of the ambient-noise studies are performed with sensor arrays located at the surface. Passive recordings containing seismic arrivals from subsurface sources could be seen as having a geometry resembling reverse vertical seismic profiling (RVSP). In such scenarios, the intersource seismic-interferometry technique can be used to redatum...journal article 2022

Liu, J. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Ghose, R. (author)Seismic incoherent noise and waves scattered from objects in the crossline directions can cause 2D elastic full-waveform inversion (FWI) to produce artifacts in the resulting 2D models. We develop a complete workflow that can determine subsurface S-wave velocity (VS) models inverted from 2D near-surface seismic data more stably. We make use...journal article 2022

Liu, J. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Ghose, R. (author), Bourgeois, Q. (author)Detecting small-size objects is a primary challenge at archaeological sites due to the high degree of heterogeneity present in the near surface. Although high-resolution reflection seismic imaging often delivers the target resolution of the subsurface in different near-surface settings, the standard processing for obtaining an image of the...journal article 2021

(author), Draganov, D.S. (author)The main issues related to passive-source reflection imaging with seismic interferometry (SI) are inadequate acquisition parameters for sufficient spatial wavefield sampling and vulnerability of surface arrays to the dominant influence of the omnipresent surface-wave sources. Additionally, long recordings provide large data volumes that...journal article 2019

Nishitsuji, Y. (author), Minato, S. (author), Boullenger, B. (author), Gomez, M (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author)We have developed an application of passive seismic interferometry (SI) using P-wave coda of local earthquakes for the purpose of crustal-scale reflection imaging. We processed the reflection gathers retrieved from SI following a standard seismic processing in exploration seismology. We applied SI to the P-wave coda using crosscorrelation,...journal article 2016

Nishitsuji, Y. (author), Ruigrok, E (author), Gomez, M (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author)Obtaining detailed images of aseismic parts of subducting slabs remains a large challenge for understanding slab dynamics. Hypocenter mapping cannot be used for the purpose due to the absence of seismicity, whereas the use of receiver functions might be compromised by the presence of melt. Global tomography can be used to identify the presence...journal article 2016

Draganov, D.S. (author), Ghose, R. (author), Heller, H.K.J. (author)Purpose: Time-lapse seismic monitoring constitutes the foundation for most monitoring programmes involving CO2 storage. When using time-lapse seismics, two major sources of uncertainty in the estimation of changes in the reservoir properties, like saturation and pressure, are the non-repeatability of the source positions and the difficulty to...abstract 2016

Martins, Joana E. (author), Hooper, Andy (author), Ruigrok, E.N. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author), White, Robert (author), Soosalu, Heidi (author)Torfajökull is the largest silicic volcanic centre in Iceland lying at the intersection of the rift zone (MidAtlantic Ridge) and the transform zone that connects to Reykjanes peninsula. It erupts infrequently,with only two eruptions in the last 1200 years, the latest of which was over 5 centuries ago. Yet, itsactive tectonic setting, persistent...abstract 2014

Draganov, D.S. (author), Ghose, R. (author), Heller, K. (author), Ruigrok, E.N. (author)Application of seismic interferometry to records from receivers at the Earth’s surface from sources in wells retrieves the reflection response measured at the receivers as if from virtual sources located also at the surface. When the wavefields experience intrinsic losses during propagation, non-physical arrivals (ghosts) would appear in the...journal article 2012

Minato, S. (author), Matsuoka, T. (author), Tsuji, T. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Hunziker, J.W. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Crosswell reflection method is a high-resolution seismic imaging method that uses recordings between boreholes. The need for downhole sources is a restrictive factor in its application, for example, to time-lapse surveys. An alternative is to use surface sources in combination with seismic interferometry. Seismic interferometry (SI) could...journal article 2011

Ruigrok, E.N. (author), Campman, X. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Wapenaar, K. (author)In recent years, there has been an increase in the deployment of relatively dense arrays of seismic stations. The availability of spatially densely sampled global and regional seismic data has stimulated the adoption of industry-style imaging algorithms applied to converted- and scattered-wave energy from distant earthquakes, leading to...journal article 2010

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Snieder, R. (author), Campman, X. (author), Verdel, A. (author)Seismic interferometry involves the crosscorrelation of responses at different receivers to obtain the Green's function between these receivers. For the simple situation of an impulsive plane wave propagating along the x-axis, the crosscorrelation of the responses at two receivers along the x-axis gives the Green's function of the direct wave...journal article 2010

Draganov, D. (author)One of the goals of exploration geophysics is to obtain an image of the subsurface. In petroleum exploration and near-surface geophysics, this is best achieved using reflected waves. For this, a controlled seismic or electromagnetic source is placed at the surface, activated, and the wavefields that it creates are recorded at the surface after...doctoral thesis 2007

(author)The retrieval of the earth's reflection response from cross?correlations of seismic noise recordings can provide valuable information, which may otherwise not be available due to limited spatial distribution of seismic sources. We cross?correlated ten hours of seismic background?noise data acquired in a desert area. The cross?correlation results...journal article 2007

Draganov, D.S. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author)In 1968, Jon Claerbout showed that the reflection response of a 1D acoustic medium can be reconstructed by autocorrelating the transmission response. Since then, several authors have derived relationships for reconstructing Green's functions at the surface, using crosscorrelations of (noise) recordings that were taken at the surface and that...journal article 2006
