Using beamforming to maximise the detection capability of Kwintsheul’s seismic array

To run Nature’s Heat geothermal operations (Kwintsheul, The Netherlands) in a safe and efficient manner, and with the support of the local population, it is important to mitigate potential hazards. A well known potential hazard related to geothermal operations is the occurrence of induced seismicity due to injection and extraction of fluids in...

Localization of ocean seismic noise

All over the world a so called oceanic 'hum' can be recorded, dominating the ambient noise field. The hum is generated by nonlinear interaction of ocean surface waves, radiating acoustic signals in the atmosphere and water (named microbaroms), and coupling to the solid earth as microseisms. The hum can be generated by local near-coastal sources...
