• passive imaging

• importance of 3D

• migration

• teleseisms

• breaking waves

• north sea reservoir


passive imaging• not event location

• structural imaging– reflection seismology: subsurface investigation

from the time-delayed reflections of sound off of geologic variations.

– passive imaging: with no application of controlled experimental sources, a relationship between a recorded transmission wavefield and reflection wavefields is required.

• requires: stationary seismometers, lots of disk space


capitalizing on ambient noise• earthquake arrivals

• ocean waves

• wind vibrations coupled with foundations

• cultural activity– vehicle and boat traffic– drilling noise– nearby seismic acquisition
