Seismic Imaging from Crust to Core: Understanding Ancient and Contemporary Processes
Seismic Imaging from Crust to Core: Understanding Ancient and Contemporary Processes
Session ID#: 249416
Session Description:
Subsurface processes in the near-surface, crust, mantle, and core are opaque due to the inaccessibility of Earth’s interior. Seismic imaging is a key tool to understand the subsurface, providing important constraints on multi-scale structural heterogeneity in both space and time. Advances in imaging techniques that constrain structural boundaries, like receiver functions and autocorrelation, and velocity structure, like earthquake and ambient noise tomography, provide constraints on geologic and tectonic processes. Deployments of nodal and ocean bottom seismometers and distributed acoustic sensing arrays can supplement permanent broadband networks by increasing spatial density and extending seismic imaging to remote areas. We invite research on any spatial and temporal scale that uses seismic imaging to study the subsurface. We encourage presentations that use new methods or novel datasets and research that combines seismic imaging with modeling to better understand subsurface processes.
