Quantitative tools for seismic stratigraphy and lithology characterization
Seismological images represent maps of the earth’s structure. Apparent bandwidth limitation of seismic data prevents successful estimation of transition sharpness by the multiscale wavelet transform. We discuss the application of two recently developed techniques for (non-linear) singularity analysis designed for bandwidth limited data, such as imaged seismic reflectivity. The first method is a...
متن کاملFractional Spline Matching Pursuit: a quantitative tool for seismic stratigraphy
A matching pursuit algorithm is used to obtain quantitative information on the litho-stratigraphical content of seismic data. The method is based on a greedy non-linear algorithm decomposing the data into atoms drawn from a redundant dictionary defined by fractional splines. The atom’s parametrization provides localized scale, order and direction attributes which carry information on the strati...

15 صفحه اولHow Many Lives were Saved by the Evacuation
It is difficult to know how many fatalities and injuries in an earthquake may have been avoided by a mitigating action because the result without the mitigation can usually not be estimated with a useful reliability. The case of the evacuation before the 1975, M 7.3, Haicheng earthquake offers a rare opportunity to quantitatively estimate the number of casualties saved. We show that the compute...
متن کاملSeismic stratigraphy of the Bill Bailey and Lousy Bank area: implications for subsidence history
The present study discusses some results of a reconnaissance seismic survey carried out in 1988 in the area around the prominent Bill Bailey and Lousy Banks, located SW of the Faeroe Islands. The area is thought to be part of the Rockall-Faeroe microcontinent, which was flooded by Palaeocene plateau basalts. The seafloor topography is largely due to the present-day organization of the basalt su...
