SRL 征文:Focus Session on Geophone Array Seismology
clicks:759


Submission Deadline: 15 February 2018

The greater availability of autonomous, integrated geophone and digitizer systems that continuously record seismic signals has opened up many new directions and applications in seismological research. Compared to conventional seismographs for long-term deployment, these geophone systems are generally cheaper and easier to deploy. They can be rapidly deployed (e.g., important for aftershock studies) and have a minimal environmental impact (e.g., important in sensitive areas). The low cost and ease of deployment also allows these instruments to be deployed in very large numbers, known as “large N” arrays, which can reduce or eliminate spatial aliasing by recording a well-sampled wavefield. These geophones typically have a corner frequency of a few Hz and can record single or 3-component data. As a result, they are ideal for crustal-scale, high-resolution imaging studies using both active and passive sources, as well as microseismic source detection and analysis.

This SRL focus section aims to publish research related to geophone array, full wavefield, or “large N” seismology, broadly defined. Studies can include, but are not limited to, instrument/sensor development, ambient noise tomography, active-source imaging, fault zone structures, microseismicity, aftershock, and other environmental seismic signal monitoring.

Individuals interested in submitting contributions are strongly urged to contact the guest editors to discuss their planned contribution prior to submission.
