Improving adaptive subtraction in seismic multiple attenuation

Intelligent Adaptive Subtraction for Multiple Attenuation

Seismic Wave Attenuation in Carbonates

Relative Seismic Attenuation Estimation

The end goal of any solid Earth study is to better constrain physical parameters of the Earth (e.g. viscosity, temperature, and mineral composition). As we are unable to directly measure many of these quantities, past a few kilometers in depth, we must content ourselves with indirect estimates by way of experiment and theory. Just as geochemists do this by way of compositional deviations from p...

Adaptive multiple subtraction using regularized nonstationary regression a

Stationary regression is the backbone of different seismic data processing algorithms including match filtering, which is commonly applied for adaptive multiple subtraction. However, the assumption of stationarity is not always adequate for describing seismic signals. I present a general method of nonstationary regression and show its application to nonstationary match filtering. The key idea i...

Improving Microseismic PWave Source LocationWith Multiple Seismic Arrays

Using array analysis, the direction and distance to a seismic P wave source can be determined. However, individual arrays are limited in their geographical coverage and by their resolving capability, which is determined by the array aperture, configuration, and number of stations. We demonstrate these limitations on three large seismic arrays located in Japan, Europe, and California, and find t...
