Seismic network Remote triggering of fault-strength changes on the San Andreas fault at Parkfield Taka’aki Taira, Paul G. Silver, Fenglin Niu & Robert M. Nadeau Key message: • Connection between significant changes in scattering parameters and fault strength and dynamic stress Computational Geophysics and Data Analysis
Principle Method: Compare waveforms of repeating earthquake sequences Quantity: Decorrelation index D(t) = 1-Cmax(t) Insensitive to variations in near-station environment(Snieder, Gret, Douma & Scales 2002) Computational Geophysics and Data Analysis
True? • Changes in scatterer properties: • Increase in Decorrelation index after 1992 Landers earthquake (Mw=7.3, 65 kPa dyn. stress) • Strong increase in Decorrelation index after 2004 Parkfield earthquake (Mw=6.0, distance ~20 km) • Increase in Decorrelation index after 2004 Sumatra Earthquake (Mw=9.1, 10kPa dyn. stress) • But: No traces of 1999 Hector Mine, 2002 Denali and 2003 San Simeon (dyn. stresses all two times above 2004 Sumatra) Computational Geophysics and Data Analysis

Summary • The simple correlation technique has turned into one of the most important processing tools for seismograms • Passive imaging is the process with which noise recordings can be used to infer information on structure • Correlation of noisy seismograms from two stations allows in principle the reconstruction of the Green‘s function between the two stations • A whole new family of tomographic tools emerged • CC techniques are ideal to identify time-dependent changes in the structure (scattering) • The ideal tool to quantify similarity (e.g., frequency dependent) between various signals (e.g., rotations, strains with translations) Computational Geophysics and Data Analysis
