Identifying Isotropic Events Using a Regional Moment Tensor Inversion

The deviatoric and isotropic source components for 17 explosions at the Nevada Test Site, as well as 12 earthquakes and 3 collapses in the surrounding region of the western US, are calculated using a regional time-domain full waveform inversion for the complete moment tensor. The events separate into specific populations according to their deviation from a pure double-couple and ratio of isotro...

Delivery: an open-source model-based Bayesian seismic inversion program

We introduce a new open-source toolkit for model-based Bayesian seismic inversion called Delivery. The prior model in Delivery is a trace–local layer stack, with rock physics information taken from log analysis and layer times initialised from picks. We allow for uncertainty in both the fluid type and saturation in reservoir layers: variation in seismic responses due to fluid effects are taken ...

Investigation of fracture processes using moment tensor inversion technique

The development and progress of fractures is accompanied by the radiation of acoustic waves due to microcracking. In the transient waveforms of acoustic emissions a huge number of information about fracture processes and the state of the material is inherent. Signal-based analysis of acoustic emissions allows, amongst other studies, for a fracture mechanics based investigation of failure. From ...
