Teleseismic transmission and reflection tomography
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
The aim of seismic tomography is to determine a model of Earth properties that best explain observed seismic data. In practice, the limitations placed on our observations and computational capabilities force us to make a ...
Strain heterogeneity during creep of Carrara marble
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
Creep processes in calcite have been extensively studied, leading to the establishment of deformation mechanism maps. However, flow laws assuming a steady-state and homogeneous creep deformation cannot describe the strain ...
Full wavefield inversion methods for monitoring time-lapse subsurface velocity changes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
Quantitative measurements of seismic velocity changes from time-lapse seismic experiments provide dynamic information about the subsurface that improves the understanding of the geology and reservoir properties. In this ...
Experimental constraints on the rheological behavior of olivine at upper mantle conditions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
Since the discovery of plate tectonics, geophysicists have sought to understand the dynamic system driving the evolution of the earth, both at the surface and in the deep interior. While the deep earth contains far fewer ...
