The Stromboli geophysical experiment. Preliminary report on wide angle refraction seismics and morphobathymetry of Stromboli island (Southern Tyrrhenian sea, Italy)based on integrated offshore-onshore data acquisition (cruise STRO-06 R/V Urania) [PDF]
, 2007 The Stromboli geophysical experiment, performed to acquire onshore and offshore seismic data through a combined on-land and marine network, was finalized to reconstruct the seismic tomography of the volcano and to investigate the deep structures and the

Fully nonlinear inversion of fundamental mode surface waves for a global crustal model [PDF]
, 2007 We use neural networks to find 1-dimensional marginal probability density functions (pdfs) of global crustal parameters. The information content of the full posterior and prior pdfs can quantify the extent to which a parameter is constrained by the data.

Geological Journal, EarlyView.Carbonates from Santos Basin revealed U–Pb ages correlated with basalt ages (A), suggesting that they were formed during magmatic events. These events placed hot CO2 in the reservoir, which, when mixed with carbonate‐rich cold water (B), led to thermal convection, enabling the formation of the U contained in the carbonates.

Seismic Reflection Tomography [PDF]
Exploration Geophysics, 1988 Velocity analysis in current conventional seismic processing is beginning to appear inadequate for dealing with the increasingly complex geological structures of interest today. Tomographic imaging using individual arrival traveltimes from a given reflector may offer the prospect of reconstructing in detail an accurate velocity field above that ...

Global travel time tomography with 3-D reference models
, 2007 In this study, a global high-resolution P-wave velocity model is obtained for the Earth's crust and mantle using travel time tomography. Improvements to previous models are achieved by incorporating additional data and advancing the method to use 3-D ...

One-dimensional seismic reference models are known to be a nonunique solution to global seismic data, hampering an interpretation in terms of physical structure. Here we test the compatibility of the simplest hypothesis of a mantle convecting as a whole,

Time-lapse seismic attenuation as a tool for monitoring hydrocarbons and CO2 in geological materials [PDF]
, 2011 Both laboratory experiments and theoretical models have shown seismic attenuation to be sensitive to various petrophysical properties of rock and pore fluids, making attenuation a potentially useful time-lapse attribute to measure and interpret through ...
