Origin of the Temporal Evolution of Elastic Properties During Laboratory Seismic Cycle

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue, Mateo Alejandro Acosta, Federica Paglialunga

Recent seismological observations highlighted that earthquakes are associated to drops in elastic properties around the fault zone (Brenguier et al., 2008). This drop is often attributed to co-seismic damage produced at the rupture tip, and can mostly be o ...

How does seismic anisotropy evolve as a function of mineralogical and textural changes across ductile shear zones? – an experimental and modelling approach

Henri Joseph François Gilles Leclère

Strain localization and the development of ductile shear zones in the middle and lower crust play major roles in lithosphere dynamics. Geophysical imaging of ductile shear zones is an issue for ore geology, for the understanding of the lithosphere rheology ...

Electromagnetic Time Reversal Applied to Fault Location: On the Properties of Back-Injected Signals

Mario Paolone, Zhaoyang Wang, Reza Razzaghi

By using the electromagnetic time reversal (EMTR) theory, the paper studies its properties in order to derive a new fault location method to be used in power networks. It is shown that, in the reversed-time stage, the current signal observed at the true fa ...

The Role of Geological Barriers in Achieving Robust Well Integrity

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

Wells play a key role in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. They are not only a critical element in ensuring the permanent trapping of carbon dioxide (CO2) in deep subsurface permeable formations, but they are also being recognized as an important ...

Review of current GPS methodologies for producing accurate time series and their error sources

Jean-Philippe Lucien Montillet

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is an important tool to observe and model geodynamic processes such as plate tectonics and post-glacial rebound. In the last three decades, GPS has seen tremendous advances in the precision of the measurements, which all ...

Cold pulse and rotation reversals with turbulence spreading and residual stress

Ning Yan

Transport modeling based on inclusion of turbulence spreading and residual stresses shows internal rotation reversals and polarity reversal of cold pulses, with a clear indication of nonlocal transport effects due to fast spreading in the turbulence intens ...

Full-wavefield modeling and reverse time migration of laser ultrasound data: A feasibility study

Thomas Emmanuel Blum

Laser ultrasound (LU) data acquired on cylindrical core samples effectively probe the physical properties of geologic materials. Although most LU analyses focus on estimating and inverting traveltimes of direct arrivals, it is important to recognize that L ...

An iterative particle filter approach for coupled hydro-geophysical inversion of a controlled infiltration experiment

Gabriele Manoli, Damiano Pasetto, Matteo Rossi

The modeling of unsaturated groundwater flow is affected by a high degree of uncertainty related to both measurement and model errors. Geophysical methods such as Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) can provide useful indirect information on the hydrol ...
