Research
Beside the seismic waves caused by earthquakes, any seismometer anywhere on Earth continuously measures faint vibrations. This heartbeat of the Earth is the signature of ocean waves interacting with the seafloor, generating seismic waves in the process.
From their frequency signature, we know that the strongest sources of seismic noise (with around 7 -- 15 second periods) are generated by ocean waves. However, the precise way in which these ocean waves interact with the solid Earth is not yet understood.
For the (vertically polarized) Rayleigh waves, a widely accepted and tested theoretical model exists. However, in particular for the (horizontally polarized) Love waves, which we observe in non-negligible quantities, no such physical explanation exists.
The core of my current research is to understand the origin and behavior of seismic noise sources, and in particular those that generate Love waves.
What is the generation mechanism causing the noise? Where are the strongest source regions and how do they change over the seasons?
With my group, I address these questions using both observations and numerical simulations.
Variations in the seismic noise also provides us with information about the source phenomena that generate it.
Since most of these source phenomena are inherently linked with ocean wave state and the atmospheric excitation thereof, careful examination of seismic noise can contribute climate and weather studies.
The analysis of this ambient seismic noise brings us tools with which we can use to improve our understanding of transient processes in the Earth crust, and produce detailed images of its structure. This forms a second focus of my research. How can we extract information from complex seismic wavefields? What can it tell us about changes in subsurface properties? How do these changes relate to material damage, and when are they precursors to failure? These questions can be adressed across the scales, on different earth systems and beyond. Methods based on ambient seismic noise and coda wave interferometry can be used to monitor seismic fault zones, volcanoes, glaciers and even buildings.
