Determining clock errors of ocean-bottom seismometers
An ambient-noise based method designed for large-scale ocean bottom deployments
The timing of the recordings of ocean-bottom seismometers (OBSs) is critical for accurate earthquake location and Earth model studies. GNSS signals, however, cannot reach OBSs deployed at the ocean bottom. This prevents their clocks from being synchronized with a known reference

The Mutatá earthquake is a Mw 6 earthquake which occurred in northwestern Colombia on September 14, 2016. This region is located at the junction between three tectonic plates, namely the South American, Nazca and Caribbean plates, and the Chocó-Panamá and Northern Andes Blocks. T

Geothermal energy is a cleaner and more sustainable source of power, which plays a key role in the transition to a low-carbon economy. Sustainable and safe exploitation of geothermal resources, however, depends on our ability to understand and manage the associated seismic risks.

In 2018, the geothermal project Nature's Heat started its operations to supply heat to 64 hectares of greenhouses in Kwintsheul, Netherlands. The operation involves the extraction and reinjection of geothermal fluids at a depth of about 2.4km. Several studies suggested that geoth

In 2018, a geothermal doublet started operating in Kwinstheul, Netherlands, for supplying heat to 64 hectares of greenhouses corresponding to Nature’s Heat joint initiative. This kind of geothermal operation requires extraction, circulation, and reinjection of fluids at a depth o

Ocean-bottom seismometers (OBSs) are equipped with seismic sensors that record acoustic and seismic events at the seafloor, which makes them suitable for investigating tectonic structures capable of generating earthquakes offshore. One critical parameter to obtain accurate earthq

Accurate timing of seismic records is essential for almost all applications in seismology. Wrong timing of the waveforms may result in incorrect Earth models and/or inaccurate earthquake locations. As such, it may render interpretations of underground processes incorrect. Ocean b

Three-component seismometers deployed on the sea bed have been used for many years. These so-called ocean bottom seismometers (OBS) are used to register both compressional and shear waves. The recorded seismic information is used to enhance our understanding of areas of interest

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 o
