passive seismic imaging Brad Artman
passive imaging • importance of 3D • migration • teleseisms • breaking waves • north sea reservoir
passive imaging • not event location • structural imaging • reflection seismology: subsurface investigation from the time-delayed reflections of sound off of geologic variations. • passive imaging: with no application of controlled experimental sources, a relationship between a recorded transmission wavefield and reflection wavefields is required. • requires: stationary seismometers, lots of disk space
capitalizing on ambient noise • earthquake arrivals • ocean waves • wind vibrations coupled with foundations • cultural activity • vehicle and boat traffic • drilling noise • nearby seismic acquisition
