Yang, M. (author)Multi-epoch Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) is widely used to estimate displacements of selected scatterers from phase observations. However, their interpretation needs a connection to objects in the real world. <br/><br/>To associate InSAR scatterers to their corresponding geo-objects, it is necessary to (i) accurately estimate...doctoral thesis 2020

Zhang, Kaiwen (author)In radio astronomy (RA), one of the key tasks is the estimation of the celestial source powers, i.e. imaging. To maximize the performance, it is crucial to optimize the receiver locations before the construction of a telescope array. However, although system calibration is an integral and crucial process of imaging, it has rarely been addressed...master thesis 2020

Özer, I.E. (author)Flood defense systems are critical in protecting against catastrophic events which often lead to significant damage, fatalities or substantial socio-economic and environmental impact. Even though levees form a significant part of the existing flood defense systems, there is a limited knowledge of the different levee behavior processes and the...doctoral thesis 2020

Zotz-Wilson, R.D. (author)We all monitor the world around us through waves. After about sixteen weeks in the womb, the ears and eyes of an infant child begin to deliver the first signals of light and sound waves to the brain. In fact, one could argue that consciousness itself is the feeling one receives when processing large amounts of wavefield data. Despite the...doctoral thesis 2020

Shirmohammadi, F. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Seismic interferometry (SI) is a principle for retrieving responses between two receivers using cross-correlation. After the retrieval, one of the receivers acts as a virtual seismic source whose response is retrieved at the second receiver. Correct response retrieval relies on assumptions, among other, of a lossless medium being illuminated...poster 2020

(author)Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) is a time series remote sensing technique to estimate displacements of geo-objects from the interferometric phases of selected Persistent Scatterers (PS). The relative position of a scatterer within a resolution cell causes an additional phase contribution in the observed phase, which needs to be...journal article 2020

Casas, José Augusto (author), Badi, Gabriela Alejandra (author), Franco, Luis (author), Draganov, D.S. (author)The Planchón-Peteroa Volcanic Complex (PPVC) is located in the Central Andes, Argentina-Chile. Even though this active volcanic system is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the region, with more than twenty modest (VEI < 4) Holocene eruptions, knowledge of its subsurface structures, internal processes, dynamics, and their...journal article 2020

Shi, G. (author), Hei, K. (author), Wang, Wen (author), Bhattacharya, N. (author)Distance measurement using frequency sweeping interferometry is an absolute distance measurement technique that allows for high accuracy over long distances. Notwithstanding, the measurement accuracy is affected by laser sweeping nonlinearity and limited sweeping range. In this work, an optimized post-processing linearization method is...journal article 2020

Weemstra, C. (author), De Laat, Janneke I. (author), Verdel, Arie (author), Smets, P.S.M. (author)Instrumental timing and phase errors are a notorious problem in seismic data acquisition and processing. These can be frequency independent, for example due to clock drift, but may also be frequency dependent, for example due to imperfectly known instrument responses. A technique is presented that allows both types of errors to be recovered...journal article 2020

Balestrini, F.I. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Malehmir, Alireza (author), Marsden, Paul (author), Ghose, R. (author)In mineral exploration, new methods to improve the delineation of ore deposits at depth are in demand. For this purpose, increasing the signal-to-noise ratio through suitable data processing is an important requirement. Seismic reflection methods have proven to be useful to image mineral deposits. However, in most hard rock environments,...journal article 2020

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Current Marchenko algorithms require up/down separation, and solving the Marchenko equation enables one to retrieve the up/down components of the Green's function. We propose an iterative scheme to relax the need for up/down separation for focusing. By presenting a visual tour, we show how to retrieve the Green's function in the subsurface at...conference paper 2020

Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)With the Marchenko method, Green’s functions in the subsurface can be retrieved from seismic reflection data at the surface. State-of-the-art Marchenko methods work well for propagating waves but break down for evanescent waves. This paper discusses a first step towards extending the Marchenko method for evanescent waves and analyses its...journal article 2020
