Valley of Mexico site response from non‐reference site approach

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 1029-1059, May 2025.
We present a model for Valley of Mexico site response that is referenced to a 30 m time‐averaged shear wave velocity (VS30) of 760 m/s. This reference condition ensures compatibility with regional ground motion models (GMM) for Central America and Mexico (CAM), which were developed from an expanded version of the NGA‐Subduction (NGA‐Sub) database as ...

Correlating Groundwater Level Fluctuations of a Fractured Confined Aquifer With Relative Variations in Seismic Velocity: A Way to Estimate the Groundwater Storage

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 7, 16 April 2025.
Abstract Analysis of ambient seismic noise is of increasing interest for its potential to monitor aquifers, seismic wave velocity being sensitive to fluctuations of the water table or to pore pressure variations. The correlation with groundwater pressure variations in confined aquifers, which are often strategic, is an open scientific question, as is ...

Geophysical imaging of the subsurface seismic structure of the Chestnut Hill Reservoir earth embankment dam (Massachusetts)

Near Surface Geophysics, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 105-120, April 2025.
Abstract Degradation within a manmade earth embankment structure is often unobservable from the surface. In order to evaluate the structural integrity of earth embankment levees and dams and identify subsurface zones of weakness that may result in the future failures of such structures, various geophysical methods have been proposed as effective ...

Multi‐Scale Geophysical Imaging of a Hydrothermal System in Yellowstone National Park, USA

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Little is known about the local plumbing systems that fuel Yellowstone's famous hot springs, geysers and mud pots. A multi‐method, multi‐scale geophysical investigation was carried out in the Obsidian Pool Thermal Area (OPTA) to: (a) delineate the lateral extent of the hydrothermal area and associated surface features; (b) estimate the ...
