Description
This one day offering is divided into two parts. The first part (morning session of 2h) is a dedicated lecture/workshop that covers the basic theory, general background, and the specific experimental conditions using Seismic Sensor Networks.
The second part (afternoon session of 3h) is a field work experiment.
In Experiment 1, we conduct a so-called seismic refraction experiment using an array of densely spaced sensors to estimate the near-surface geological layering of the Earth. In Experiment 2, we install a few high-resolution broadband seismic instruments of the type that are used to also monitor regional and global seismic activity. If we are lucky, we may record a far-distant earthquake during the experiment. The recorded “ambient” vibrations will then be used estimate the local shear-wave structure underneath the instruments.
Attendance of the morning session is mandatory for participants to be able to attend the afternoon session, that way they understand the strength and limitations of each method/experiment, and the corresponding scientific goal.
Gerard Schuster
Gerard Schuster is currently a Professor of Geophysics at King Abdullah University Science and Technology (KAUST) and an adjunct Professor of Geophysics at University of Utah. He was the founder and director of the Utah Tomography and Modeling/Migration consortium from 1987 to 2009, and is now the co-director and founder of the Center for Fluid Modeling and Seismic Imaging at KAUST. Dr. Schuster helped pioneer seismic interferometry and its practical applications in applied geophysics, through his active research program and through his extensive publications, including his books "Seismic Interferometry" (Cambridge Press, 2009) and "Seismic Inversion" (SEG Press, 2017). He also has extensive experience in developing innovative migration and inversion methods for both exploration and earthquake seismology.
Martin Mai
Martin Mai is Professor of Earth Science and Engineering at KAUST and President of the Seismology Division, European Geosciences Union. Professor Mai's research interests include the physics of earthquakes and the resulting complexity of earthquake phenomena, as seen for instance, through earthquake-source imaging and dynamic rupture modeling. Mai's work extends to strong ground motion properties and near-source broadband wavefield simulations that include seismic wave scattering in heterogeneous media. He is currently the president of the Seismology Division, European Geosciences Union.
