Abstract: We developed guidelines for building a detailed elastic depth model by using an elastic synthetic seismogram that matched both prestack and stacked marine seismic data from the Gippsland Basin (Australia). Recomputing this synthetic for systematic variations upon the depth model provided insight into how each part of the model affected the synthetic. This led to the identification of parameters in the depth model that have only a minor influence upon the synthetic and suggested methods for estimating the parameters that are important. The depth coverage of the logging run is of prime importance because highly reflective layering in the overburden can generate noise events that interfere with deeper events. A depth s ling interval of 1 m for the P-wave velocity model is a useful lower limit for modeling the transmission response and thus maintaining accuracy in the tie over a large time interval. The sea‐floor model has a strong influence on mode conversion and surface multiples and can be built using a checkshot survey or by testing different trend curves. When an S-wave velocity log is unavailable, it can be replaced using the P-wave velocity model and estimates of the Poisson ratio for each significant geological formation. Missing densities can be replaced using Gardner’s equation, although separate substitutions are required for layers known to have exceptionally high or low densities. Linear events in the elastic synthetic are sensitive to the choice of inelastic attenuation values in the water layer and sea‐floor sediments, while a simple inelastic attenuation model for the consolidated sediments is often adequate. The usefulness of a 1-D depth model is limited by misties resulting from complex 3-D structures and the validity of the measurements obtained in the logging run. The importance of such mis‐ties can be judged, and allowed for in an interpretation, by recomputing the elastic synthetic after perturbing the depth model to simulate the key uncertainties. Taking the next step beyond using simplistic modeling techniques requires extra effort to achieve a satisfactory tie to each part of a prestack seismic record. This is rewarded by the greater confidence that can then be held in the stacked synthetic tie and applications such as noise identification, data processing benchmarking, AVO analysis, and inversion.

Abstract: The current set of reference models for the radial variation of Earth structure have been in use for several decades, and provide a good representation of many aspects of the seismic wavefield. Nevertheless, strong constraints from the differential times between pairs of SmKS phases indicate the need to modify the P wave speed profile in the upper part of the outer core. In order to incorporate such a change and maintain the representation of the full suite of seismic phases compensatory adjustments have to be made, dominantly in the mantle. Using multi-objective optimization, a new preferred radial model ek137 has been generated that provides a good representation of the traveltimes of all core phases. An adiabatic profile can be maintained through most of the outer core, but departures are needed at the base, as in the ak135 model. The latest estimates for inner core shear wave speed are included in ek137.

Abstract: High‐frequency oceanic Pn/Sn ( Po/So ) phases ( Hz) recorded at ocean bottom seismometers in the northwest Pacific display strong azimuthal variations in propagation characteristics. In the direction parallel to former Pacific plate motion (N30°W), seismograms show a gentle rise at the onset of Po/So followed by large, long spindle‐shaped coda Po has a low‐frequency ( .25 Hz) precursor and much delayed high‐frequency signals, showing weak dispersion with frequency. For orthogonal propagation, the onset of Po/So rises sharply and bursts of Po reverberations in the seawater follow. These differences indicate a strong azimuthal dependence of the scattering waveguide effect of the oceanic lithosphere. Numerical simulations of seismic waves in three‐dimensional heterogeneous structures reveal that much of the observed Po/So propagation variability can be explained by laterally elongated fine‐scale heterogeneity in the oceanic lithosphere, with a correlation distance of 20 km in the direction parallel to the magnetic anomaly, and a much shorter correlation distance in the perpendicular and depth directions. The longer axis corresponds to the observed Pn/Sn ‐wavespeed anisotropy in the northwest Pacific, so the heterogeneity pattern was also developed during the formation and growth of the Pacific plate competing processes produce different styles of fine‐scale effects. The elongated heterogeneity distributions in the oceanic lithosphere are carried into the subducting Pacific slab allowing energy from deep‐focus earthquakes to propagate to large distances, producing observations of anomalously large ground motions in specific directions. The behavior can be matched with three‐dimensional simulation of high‐frequency wave propagation with a heterogeneous Pacific slab.

Abstract: Over my research career I have worked on many aspects of Earth Structure on scales from the whole globe to the very local, this has provided insights into the nature of heterogeneity and the importance of features with small length scales (up to tens of kilometers) revealed with higher‐frequency seismic waves ( Hz). Progress in determining 3‐D structure depends on representing the dominant variation with depth and large‐scale structure as a starting point. Intermediate and fine scales of heterogeneity (less than 100 km), below the typical resolution of seismic tomography, play an important role in shaping the seismic wavefield. The larger scales of variation in seismic structure can be directly linked to geodynamics through the influence of temperature and composition. The smaller scales retain a memory of past processes that can link to geochemical studies.

Abstract: This paper seeks to better understand how unanticipated disruption influences teacher agency and professionalism. Drawing on a conceptual model of teacher agency the paper examines data from teacher focus groups conducted in one Australian K-12 school to understand the lived experience of teachers (n = 50) during an initial COVID-19 lockdown period, particularly how they successfully navigated the transition to online teaching, and subsequent changes in practice and pedagogy. A grounded theory approach to data analysis revealed five conditions shaped teacher experience and a sense of personal achievement during this disruption: (1) an open in idual mindset (2) permission to be flexible and respond in appropriate ways (3) reduced complexity (4) effective relationships with leadership, colleagues, students, and parents and (5) parental support. Temporal and affective dimensions of teacher agency (iterational—past projective—future, and practical-evaluative—present) were used to explore the relationship between the five conditions and action for change. Findings suggest teacher agency was enhanced by focused school-based support which enabled teachers to deal with rapid change. Such support effectively facilitated reduction in complexity, provided structural and systemic assistance, valued and respected teachers as the professionals best placed to manage the shift to online learning, provided teachers with permission to try and fail, and enabled collegial support through a variety of communities of practice and structural support. Implications and future areas of research presented.

Abstract: The comparison of seismograms plays a central role in seismology in erse ways such as relative time-shifts, propagation effects between stations for a common source, and inversion for source or structural studies. Different measures for comparison have been used in the various situations, but all can be linked by the use of the concept of a transfer operator between a reference seismogram and a comparator trace. Transfer operators are implicit in various methods of phase velocity estimation, receiver functions and anisotropy studies, and measures for estimating arrival times and litude variations. Such transfer operators have a number of important roles first they allow a visual assessment of the similarities of seismograms, secondly they provide a useful description of propagation effects for a common source in terms of the evolution from a reference station, and thirdly the transfer operator provides a means of representing seismogram differences in inversion without dominance by the largest litude arrivals. Whereas many time-domain measures of the degree of fit between an observed seismogram and the corresponding synthetic seismogram depend on the difference between the traces, which can be readily disturbed by minor misalignment, the transfer operator can readily represent a time offset while retaining a suitable measure of the similarities between the traces. The transfer operator concept can be applied with weighting or windowing of seismograms, and can be expressed in the time and frequency domains, or even in frequency time. This approach provides a means of representing and quantifying differences in the character of two seismograms that are visually apparent, in the time or frequency domain, but which get suppressed in any single measure of fit. We show how transfer operators can be usefully employed in many aspects of seismology with emphasis on frequency-domain representations at low frequency, and the time domain for higher frequency applications. We can express the general goal of inversion as the reduction of the transfer operator between observed and synthetic seismograms to the identity, thereby avoiding dominance by the largest arrivals and enhancing the influence of the full range of propagation processes. Broad classes of measures for comparison of times of arrival and litudes with quasi-linear properties can be constructed from the transfer operators through the use of a simple weighting function. This versatility highlights the unifying character of the transfer operator and greatly simplifies the design of measurements targeted at specific aspects of the Earth's structure.

Abstract: Surface waves are usually dispersive with long wave trains and steady decay of litude with distance. However, if the group velocity is nearly constant for a span of periods a strong pulse is produced that retains its litude for large distances. This situation arises for the fundamental mode of Love waves in the period band 40–500 s for crust and mantle structures with a positive gradient of S wave speed in the uppermost mantle. Such a distinct Love-wave pulse with limited dispersion observed at teleseismic distance is termed the G wave in honour of Gutenberg. The long-period G-wave pulse caused by large earthquakes carries a large amount of energy to substantial distances, with significant effects across the globe, for ex le event triggering. A similar G-type Love-wave pulse with a much shorter-period of 10–20 s is generated for crustal structures without thick sediment. Such pulses produce anomalously large ground displacement at near-regional distances with, for ex le an overestimate of surface wave magnitude. We investigate the generation and propagation mechanism of the G-type Love-wave pulses in the crust and upper-mantle with the analysis of observed strong motion records from the Mw 6.2 2016 Central Tottori earthquake and the Mw 9.0 2011 Off Tohoku earthquake in Japan, in conjunction with 3-D finite-difference simulation of seismic wave propagation and analysis of dispersion curves.

Abstract: A wide range of methods exist for interpolation between spatially distributed points drawn from a single population. Yet often multiple datasets are available with differing distribution, character and reliability. A simple scheme is introduced to allow the fusion of multiple datasets. Each dataset is assigned an a priori spatial influence zone around each point and a relative weight based on its physical character. The composite result at a specific location is a weighted combination of the spatial terms for all the available data points that make a significant contribution. The combination of multiple datasets is illustrated with the construction of a unified Moho surface in part of southern Australia from results exploiting a variety of different styles of analysis.

Abstract: We present distributed fiber-optic sensing data from an airplane landing near the EastGRIP ice core drilling site on the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream. The recordings of exceptional clarity contain at least 15 easily visible wave propagation modes corresponding to various Rayleigh, pseudoacoustic, and leaky waves. In the frequency range from 8 to 55 Hz, seven of the modes can be identified unambiguously. Based on an a priori firn and ice model that matches P-wave dispersion and the fundamental Rayleigh mode, a Backus–Gilbert inversion yields an S-wavespeed model with resolution lengths as low as a few meters and uncertainties in the range of only 10 m/s. An empirical scaling from S wavespeed to density leads to a depth estimate of the firn–ice transition between 65 and 71 m, in agreement with direct firn core measurements. This work underlines the potential of distributed fiber-optic sensing combined with strong unconventional seismic sources in studies of firn and ice properties, which are critical ingredients of ice core climatology, as well as ice sheet dynamics and mass balance calculations.

Abstract: High-throughput 16S rRNA gene licon sequencing is an essential method for studying the ersity and dynamics of microbial communities. However, this method is presently h ered by the lack of high-identity reference sequences for many environmental microbes in the public 16S rRNA gene reference databases, and by the absence of a systematic and comprehensive taxonomy for the uncultured majority. Here we demonstrate how high-throughput synthetic long-read sequencing can be applied to create ecosystem-specific full-length 16S rRNA gene licon sequence variant (FL-ASV) reference databases that include high-identity references ( .7% identity) for nearly all abundant bacteria ( .01% relative abundance) using Danish wastewater treatment systems and anaerobic digesters as an ex le. In addition, we introduce a novel sequence identity-based approach for automated taxonomy assignment (AutoTax) that provides a complete seven-rank taxonomy for all reference sequences, using the SILVA taxonomy as a backbone, with stable placeholder names for unclassified taxa. The FL-ASVs are perfectly suited for the evaluation of taxonomic resolution and bias associated with primers commonly used for licon sequencing, allowing researchers to choose those that are ideal for their ecosystem. The AutoTax taxonomy greatly improves the classification of short-read 16S rRNA gene licon sequence variants (ASVs) at the genus- and species-level, compared to the commonly used universal reference databases. Importantly, the placeholder names provide a way to explore the unclassified environmental taxa at different taxonomic ranks, which in combination with in situ analyses can be used to uncover their ecological roles.

Abstract: The seismic correlation wavefield constructed from the stacked cross-correlograms of the late coda of earthquake signals at stations across the globe provides a wealth of observed pulses as a function of inter-station distance. The interval from 3 to 10 h after the onset of major earthquakes is employed for the period range from 15 to 50 s. The observations can be well matched by synthetic seismograms for a radially stratified Earth. Many of the correlation phases have similar time behaviour to those in the regular wavefield, but others have no correspondence. All such correlation phases can be explained by the interaction of arrivals with a common slowness at the each of the stations being correlated. Using a generalized ray description of the seismic wavefield, the time-distance behaviour of these correlation phases arises from differences in accumulated phase on different propagation paths through the Earth. Distinct arrivals emerge from the correlation field when there are many ways in which combinations of seismic phases can arise with the same difference in propagation legs. The constituents of the late coda are dominated by steeply travelling waves, and in consequence features associated with multiple passages through the whole Earth emerge distinctly, such as high-order multiples of PKIKP .

Abstract: The proliferation of seismic networks in Australia has laid the groundwork for high-resolution probing of the continental crust. Here we develop an updated 3D shear-velocity model using a large dataset containing nearly 30 years of seismic recordings from over 1600 stations. A recently-developed ambient noise imaging workflow enables improved data analysis by integrating asynchronous arrays across the continent. This model reveals fine-scale crustal structures at a lateral resolution of approximately 1-degree in most parts of the continent, highlighted by 1) shallow low velocities ( .2 km/s) well correlated with the locations of known sedimentary basins, 2) consistently faster velocities beneath discovered mineral deposits, suggesting a whole-crustal control on the mineral deposition process, and 3) distinctive crustal layering and improved characterization of depth and sharpness of the crust-mantle transition. Our model sheds light on undercover mineral exploration and inspires future multi-disciplinary studies for a more comprehensive understanding of the mineral systems in Australia.

Abstract: The geological structure of southwest Australia comprises a rich, complex record of Precambrian cratonization and Phanerozoic continental breakup. Despite the stable continental cratonic geologic history, over the past five decades the southwest of Western Australia has been the most seismically active region in continental Australia, though the reason for this activity is not yet well understood. The Southwest Australia Seismic Network (SWAN) is a temporary broadband network of 27 stations that was designed to both record local earthquakes for seismic hazard applications and provide the opportunity to dramatically improve the rendering of 3D seismic structure in the crust and mantle lithosphere. Such seismic data are essential for better characterization of the location, depth, and attenuation of the regional earthquakes, and hence understanding of earthquake hazard. During the deployment of these 27 broadband instruments, a significant earthquake swarm occurred that included three earthquakes of local magnitude 4.0 and larger, and the network was supplemented by an additional six short-term nodal seismometers at 10 separate sites in early 2022, as a rapid deployment to monitor this swarm activity. The SWAN experiment has been continuously recording since late 2020 and will continue into 2023. These data are archived at the International Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks (FDSN) - recognized Australian Passive Seismic (AusPass) Data center under network code 2P and will be publicly available in 2025.

Abstract: During moderate to deep (35–260 km) earthquakes within the Philippine-sea slab along the Ryukyu arc, distinctive later phases after S are observed across the Japanese archipelago for epicentral distances from 1500 to 2200 km, producing anomalous lification of ground motion in central and northern Japan. Broad-band observations show that these later phases have a faster apparent wave speed (7–9.5 km s−1) than S, and are dominant at low frequencies (0.05–1 Hz), indicating S-wave reflections returned from the upper mantle with strong attenuation for high frequencies. Numerical simulation of seismic wave propagation in 3-D models including subduction of both the Pacific (PAC) and Philippine-sea (PHS) plates reveal the origin of these reflections. The triplicated S wave front from the 410 km discontinuity undergoes wide-angle reflection at the top of the Pacific slab bringing strong litudes in a narrow band of epicentral distance near 1500 km. Also, wide-angle S reflections at the 660 km discontinuity are reinforced by refraction when travelling through the high-wave speed Pacific slab these arrive at the surface beyond 2000 km epicentral distance. The characteristics of the deep mantle reflections and the distribution of large ground motion across Japan due to the reflections are strongly dependent on the source depth and distance to the Ryukyu earthquakes. Tomographic imagery for western Japan indicates loss of the high-wave speed signal of the PAC slab below 200 km depth the character of the large S reflections and pattern of enhanced ground motions favours a model in which the PAC slab is thinned rather than fully broken. The peculiar pattern of ground motion from Ryukyu earthquakes can be useful for constraining deep slab structures that are difficult to identify based on tomography.

Abstract: In recent years, there has been a considerable expansion of deployments of portable seismic stations across Australia, which have been analysed by receiver function or autocorrelation methods to extract estimates of Moho depth. An ongoing program of full-crustal reflection profiles has now provided more than 25 000 km of reflection transects that have been interpreted for Moho structure. The Moho data set is further augmented by extensive marine reflection results. These new data sources have been combined with earlier refraction and receiver function results to provide full continental coverage, though some desert areas remain with limited s ling. The dense s ling of the Moho indicates the presence of rapid changes in Moho depth, and so, the Moho surface has been constructed using an approach that allows different weighting and spatial influence depending on the nature of the estimate. The inclusion of Moho results from continental-wide gravity inversion with low weighting helps to resolve the continent-ocean transition and to provide additional control in the least s led zones. The refined distribution indicates the presence of widespread smaller-scale variations in Moho structure. Strong lateral contrasts in crustal thickness remain, but some have become more subdued with improved s ling of critical areas. The main differences from earlier results lie in previously poorly s led regions around the Lake Eyre Basin, where additional passive seismic results indicate somewhat thicker crust though still with a strong contrast in crustal thickness to the cratonic zone to the west.

Abstract: Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) exploiting fibre optic cables provides a means for high-density s ling of the seismic wavefield. The scattered returns from multiple laser pulses provide local averages of strain rate over a finite gauge length, and the nature of the signal depends on the orientation of the cable with respect to the passing seismic waves. The properties of the wavefield in the slowness-frequency domain help to provide understanding of the nature of DAS recordings. For local events the dominant part of the strain rate can be extracted from the difference of ground velocity resolved along the fibre at the ends of the gauge interval, with an additional contribution just near the source. For more distant events the response at seismic frequencies can be represented as the acceleration along the fibre modulated by the horizontal slowness resolved in the same direction, which means there is a strong dependence on cable orientation. These representations of the wavefield provide insight into the character of the DAS wavefield in a range of situations from a local jump source, through a regional earthquake to teleseismic recording with different cable configurations and geographic locations. The slowness domain representation of the DAS signal allows analysis of the array response of cable configurations indicating the important role of the slowness weighting associated with the effect of gauge length. Unlike seismometer arrays the response is not described by a single generic stacking function. For high frequency waves, direct stacking enhances P, SV waves and Rayleigh waves an azimuthal weighted stack provides retrieval of SH and Love waves at the cost of enhanced sidelobes in the array response.

Abstract: Geophysical Continua presents a systematic treatment of deformation in the Earth from seismic to geologic time scales, and demonstrates the linkages between different aspects of the Earth's interior that are often treated separately. A unified treatment of solids and fluids is developed to include thermodynamics and electrodynamics, in order to cover the full range of tools needed to understand the interior of the globe. The emphasis throughout the book is on relating seismological observations with interpretations of earth processes. Physical principles and mathematical descriptions are developed that can be applied to a broad spectrum of geodynamic problems. Incorporating illustrative ex les and an introduction to modern computational techniques, this textbook is designed for graduate-level courses in geophysics and geodynamics. It is also a useful reference for practising Earth Scientists.

Abstract: Teacher educators in university English as foreign language (EFL) classrooms often emphasise verbal communication alongside teacher-student relationships, students’ emotions, and the classroom climate. These factors all contribute to either encourage or discourage students’ willingness to communicate verbally (Butler, 2011). Yet, an area with limited research is understanding the teachers' perspectives of students' silence during online learning throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilising Redmond et al.’s (2018) conceptual model of cognitive, behavioural, and emotional engagement in online learning, we examine how three undergraduate EFL teacher educators in Vietnam interpret students’ silence while teaching EFL through online Zoom classes. Drawing on three in-depth semi-structured interviews (n=3 hours), findings indicated that silence was experienced by the teacher educators in different ways as a thinking/learning opportunity, an indication of teachers' uncertainty, and as conscious disengagement.

Abstract: The conventional approach to the processing of airborne gamma‐ray spectrometric data is to first sum the observed spectra over three relatively broad energy windows. These three window count rates are then processed to obtain estimates of the potassium (K), uranium (U), and thorium (Th) elemental abundances. However, multichannel spectra contain additional information on the concentrations of K, U, and Th in the source, on the distance between the source and the detector, and on the relative contribution of atmospheric radon to the observed spectrum. This information can be extracted using multichannel processing procedures. The observed spectrum is considered as the sum of three terrestrial and three background component spectra, which are determined through suitable airborne and ground calibrations. The background components can be calculated independently and removed from the observed spectra. A parametric model based on a principal component analysis of the terrestrial components as functions of simulated detector height is then used to find the effective heights at which the K, U, and Th terrestrial components best fit the background‐corrected airborne data. The component spectra for these heights are then fitted to the background‐corrected observed spectra to obtain elemental count rates. The multichannel processing results in significant reductions in the fractional errors associated with the estimated elemental count rates. For three surveys processed using the new methodology, the average deviations of the K, U, and Th elemental count rates from the estimated mean elemental count rates at each observation point are reduced by 12.4%, 26.5 %, and 20.3 %, respectively, when compared with the conventional three‐channel method. This results in a better structural resolution of small anomalies in enhanced images of the processed data.

Abstract: Differences in the thickness of the high-velocity lid underlying continents as imaged by seismic tomography, have fuelled a long debate on the origin of the 'roots' of continents. Some of these differences may be reconciled by observations of radial anisotropy between 250 and 300 km depth, with horizontally polarized shear waves travelling faster than vertically polarized ones. This azimuthally averaged anisotropy could arise from present-day deformation at the base of the plate, as has been found for shallower depths beneath ocean basins. Such deformation would also produce significant azimuthal variation, owing to the preferred alignment of highly anisotropic minerals. Here we report global observations of surface-wave azimuthal anisotropy, which indicate that only the continental portion of the Australian plate displays significant azimuthal anisotropy and strong correlation with present-day plate motion in the depth range 175-300 km. Beneath other continents, azimuthal anisotropy is only weakly correlated with plate motion and its depth location is similar to that found beneath oceans. We infer that the fast-moving Australian plate contains the only continental region with a sufficiently large deformation at its base to be transformed into azimuthal anisotropy. Simple shear leading to anisotropy with a plunging axis of symmetry may explain the smaller azimuthal anisotropy beneath other continents.
