Abstract Despite the prevalence of rock glaciers in mountain environments, their ice volumes are poorly constrained. Rock glaciers persist in settings unable to support glaciers. They act as climate resilient water stores and refugia for cold‐adapted species while also posing a hazard to alpine communities. Imaging the entire internal structure of rock

Abstract The Cenozoic India–Eurasia collision drove widespread deformation across Central Asia, culminating in northward indentation of the Pamir and its eventual contact with the South Tianshan. However, the timing and kinematics of Pamir–Tianshan convergence, as well as its influence on regional topography and climate, remain debated. Here, we report

Abstract The Sangre de Cristo Range in southern Colorado records a complex tectonic history that includes Late Cretaceous–Eocene Laramide contraction and Oligocene–Quaternary Rio Grande rift extension. We present new thermochronologic data (40Ar/39Ar, fission‐track, (U‐Th)/He) and thermal history models that provide insight into this polyphase history ...

Effects of Attenuation on Seismic Reflections
IGARSS 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2019Seismic reflections at an interface are often regarded as the variation of the acoustic impedance (product of seismic velocity and density) in a media. In fact, they can also be generated due to the difference in absorption of the seismic energy. In this work, we investigate the impacts of attenuation on seismic reflections based on the diffusive ...

Pitfalls In Shallow Seismic Reflection
7th EEGS Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems, 1994Substantial progress has occurred during the past 15 years in development of shallow CDP seismic-reflection techniques, but there are occasional interpretation problems with the resulting data. We discuss examples of the pitfalls of the method, along with some procedures to help avoid them.

Seismic reflectivity attributes
SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts 2015, 2015Seismic structural attributes (e.g., curvatures and similarity), which are usually extracted from post-stack seismic data, have been been widely used to help seismic interpretation. Because seismic data is band limited and contaminated with noise, which results in low resolution of the extracted attribute outputs.

AbstractA layer‐by‐layer waveform inversion method is developed to derive the velocities of a multi‐layered model. Firstly, one new concept, medium perturbation‐response, is introduced and the gradient method for waveform inversion is analysed. Essentially, waveform inversion is to extract residual structural information between the real earth and ...

Seismic Reflection Principles—Basics
2016Seismic reflection events are caused by the impedance contrasts at layer interfaces having a minimum width (Fresnel Zone). Seismic studies to represent reliably the subsurface geology, require quality data, which depend on signal-to-noise ratio and resolution, the latter being the ability to image thin geologic features separately.
