ABSTRACT Seismic tomography is the most abundant source of information about the internal structure of the Earth at scales ranging from a few meters to thousands of kilometers. It constrains the properties of active volcanoes, earthquake fault zones, deep reservoirs and storage sites, glaciers and ice sheets, or the entire globe.

Two-Dimensional Seismic Refraction Tomography [PDF]
Summary: An iterative tomographic inversion scheme is presented for determination of two-dimensional velocity structure from seismic refraction first- arrival traveltimes. The method is suited to refraction profiles where source/receiver spacings are denser than for conventional profiles.

ABSTRACT Recent tsunamigenic earthquakes in Japan have highlighted the emerging fire hazard triggered by tsunami inundation and its impact on tsunami vertical evacuation (TVE) structures. This new type of fire following earthquake, referred to as “tsunami fires,” may be a potential universal hazard that tsunami‐prone countries face; however, it has not

Iterative algorithms for total variation-like reconstructions in seismic tomography [PDF]
A qualitative comparison of total variation like penalties (total variation, Huber variant of total variation, total generalized variation, ...) is made in the context of global seismic tomography.

Generalised Kinematic Single‐Impact and Multi‐Impact Models for Rocking Structures
ABSTRACT The rocking motion is fundamental in earthquake engineering, as it reflects the dynamic behaviour of many structural systems. However, simulating the impacts during rocking motion remains a challenging topic, as they occur in a very short time, generate high impulsive forces, cause sudden changes in velocities and result in rapid energy losses.

Seismological support for the metastable superplume model, sharp features, and phase changes within the lower mantle [PDF]
Recently, a metastable thermal-chemical convection model was proposed to explain the African Superplume. Its bulk tabular shape remains relatively stable while its interior undergoes significant stirring with low-velocity conduits along its edges and ...

Research on Precise Identification of Rock Strength Based on Bolt Drilling Parameters
Drilling detection test platform. ABSTRACT During roadway excavation, the presence of weak interlayers and fractured rock masses significantly affects roof stability. To achieve timely and effective roadway support, it is crucial to identify and predict different rock types based on drilling signals from roof bolters.

Neutrino tomography - Learning about the Earth's interior using the propagation of neutrinos
Because the propagation of neutrinos is affected by the presence of Earth matter, it opens new possibilities to probe the Earth's interior. Different approaches range from techniques based upon the interaction of high energy (above TeV) neutrinos with ...
