S04 - Seismic Scattering, Ambient Noise, and Monitoring Earth's Structure

This session is organized by the IASPEI task group on seismic scattering
and heterogeneity, and will be scheduled during July 12-17, 2019.

The deadline for abstract submission is February 18, 2019. We would like to
invite you to submit your papers to the session.

Please forward this e-mail to your friends and colleagues who are
interested in seismic scattering, ambient noise, and seismic interferometry.


S04 - Seismic Scattering, Ambient Noise, and Monitoring Earth's Structure

Convener: Hisashi Nakahara (Japan)
Co-Conveners: Ulrich Wegler (Germany), Matt Haney (USA)

Session Description
Seismic scattered waves or coda waves carry rich information on
heterogeneities within the Earth. Amplitude information from coda waves has
been used to estimate the spatial distribution and the frequency dependence
of the strength of scattering attenuation and intrinsic absorption in the
Earth. Recently, ambient noise cross-correlation has also been used to
study seismic structure in the Earth thanks to the development of seismic
interferometry. Time-lapse imaging or monitoring of the Earth has been
conducted using tiny changes in phase information of cross-correlation
functions of ambient noise as well as coda waves. In this symposium, we
would like to widely invite presentations related to theoretical and
observational studies of coda waves and ambient noise, and their
applications to the imaging and monitoring of the Earth's structure.

Best regards,

Hisashi Nakahara, Ulrich Wegler, and Matt Haney
