Geophysical imaging by using attenuation property of multichannel seismic reflection data was tested to map spatial variation of physical properties of rocks in a volcanic area. The study area is located around Miyakejima volcanic island, where an intensive earthquake swarm was observed associated with 2000 Miyakejima eruption. Seismic reflection survey was conducted five months after the swarm...

The primary objective of the work-in-progress reported here is to compare near-surface imaging results using ultra-shallow (upper 3 m) seismic-reflection techniques and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) at an alluvial site near Great Bend, Kansas. Although various seismic and GPR surveys have been used for near-surface imaging, little i s known about how the two techniques might work in concert fo...

among all the geophysical techniques, the magnetotelluric method has improved considerably in recent years and is widely being used in hydrocarbon exploration especially in regions where reflection seismic has difficulties. areas which are covered with high velocity rocks in the near surface are most popular cases. a huge high resolution magnetotelluric investigation was conducted in the sehqan...

The inversion of seismic reflection data is challenging due to the oscillatory nature of the seismic data, the nonlinear relation between the data and the Earth’s model parameters, and the relative sensitivity of the different subsets of the data to the model parameters. Full-waveform inversion solves this inverse problem in the data space but is known to have shortcomings, especially because o...

Now that the world has well and truly crossed the threshold to the 21st century, it seems timely to review the progress of lithospheric seismic imaging and comment on recent developments in the field. In the context of this special issue, lithospheric seismic imaging refers to any kind of seismic study that gives rise to multidimensional (2-D or 3-D) views of the Earth's interior, from the shal...

Basis pursuit inversion of seismic reflection data for reflection coefficients is introduced as an alternative method of incorporating a priori information in a seismic inversion process. The inversion is accomplished by building a dictionary of functions, representing seismic reflection responses, and constituting the seismic trace as a superposition of these responses. Basis pursuit decomposi...

We investigate the effects of noise on controlled-source interferometry by multi-dimensional deconvolution (MDD) for diffusive electromagnetic (EM) fields and for seismic wavefields. An electromagnetic and a seismic dataset are modeled and decomposed into upand downwards decaying and upand downgoing fields, respectively. From the decomposed fields a reflection response can be retrieved using le...

This paper discusses very simple but effective one-dimensional morphological techniques for the identification of primary and secondary peak locations associated with reflected light patterns from glass surfaces. A common optical technique for measuring glass thickness and related properties is to observe light reflected from the glass surfaces. Two reflections can be observed when an appropria...

Mars is the first extraterrestrial planet with seismometers (Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure, SEIS) deployed directly on its surface in framework of Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) mission. The lack strong Marsquakes, however, strengthens need seismic noise studies to additionally constrain Martian structure. autocorrelations single-stati...
