Influences of variations in the sledgehammer trajectory and collinearity of the geophone array in an MASW survey on the shear-wave velocity profile

International Journal of Geo-Engineering, 2020
In professional activities aimed at seismic site classification, geophysical methods based on measurements of surface waves are often used to measure the shear-wave velocity (Vs), with the MASW survey being one of the most common techniques employed for ...

Unveiling Cryosphere Dynamics by Distributed Acoustic Sensing and Data‐Driven Hydro‐Thermo Coupled Simulation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 2, 28 January 2025.
Abstract As global warming continues, the Earth's cryosphere is experiencing severe degradation. This study leverages a novel combination of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) and artificial intelligence to monitor and decipher cryospheric dynamics. We have developed an advanced time‐lapse surface wave analysis workflow to capture shear wave velocity ...

Physics‐Guided Deep Learning Model for Daily Groundwater Table Maps Estimation Using Passive Surface‐Wave Dispersion

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Monitoring groundwater tables (GWTs) remains challenging due to limited spatial and temporal observations. This study introduces an innovative approach combining an artificial neural network, specifically a multilayer perceptron (MLP), with continuous passive Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (passive‐MASW) to construct GWT depth maps ...
