Funded Activity Summary

Multi-arrival wavefront tracking for improved seismic imaging of the Earth's interior. The complex nature of many seismic wavetrains can usually be attributed to the multi-pathing of elastic wave energy between source and receiver. Typical analysis, e.g., seismic tomography, uses few of these arrivals. This project is designed to improve the exploitation of the information on seismograms by tracking the various arrivals in complex media to provide better constraints on Earth structure. To achieve this goal, new methods for constructing multi-arrival wavefronts will be developed and applied to a range of seismic data from Tasmania to produce high resolution images of the crust and upper mantle.
