    • Scholte waves generated by seafloor topography 

      Zheng, Yingcai; Fang, Xinding; Liu, Jing; Fehler, Michael (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2012)
      Seafloor topography can excite strong interface waves called Scholte waves that are often dispersive and characterized by slow propagation but large amplitude. This type of wave can be used to invert for near seafloor shear ...

    • Advanced 3D Geophysical Imaging Technologies for Geothermal Resource Characterization 

      Zhang, Haijiang; Gasperikova, Erika; Parker, Beatrice; Tryggvason, Ari; Gudmundsson, Olafur; e.a. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2012)
      We describe the ongoing development of joint geophysical imaging methodologies for geothermal site characterization and demonstrate their potential in two regions: Krafla volcano and associated geothermal fields in ...

    • A Bayesian framework for fracture characterization from surface seismic data 

      Zamanian, S. Ahmad; Fehler, Michael; Burns, Daniel R. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earth Resources Laboratory, 2012)
      We describe a methodology for quantitatively characterizing the fractured nature of a hydrocarbon or geothermal reservoir from surface seismic data under a Bayesian inference framework. Fractures provide pathways for fluid ...
