Fault damage and healing processes from semblance analysis of waveforms generated by repeating earthquakes This project was focused on studying fault damage and healing processes in the San Andreas Fault zone associated with the nucleation of major earthquakes. In the summer of 2008, Dr. Toteva worked with Iva Gerasimenko'10 and Sreya Bagchi'10 on a data set from Parkfield, CA. Parkfield is well known with its fairly regular magnitude 6.0 earthquakes. For that reason 15 years ago it was chosen to be the location of the SAFOD experiment. The group was using semblance analysis to identify zones of high scattering along the Parkfield section of the San Andreas Fault. In particular, they were using data associated with the 2004 M6.0 Parkfield earthquake. |
In the summer of 2008 Archana worked on an internship at the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences at the University of Kiel, Germany. Archana Datta'09, working on a 41 cm-long sediment core, strategically sampled from one of the topographical protrusions in the Fram Strait. The high sedimentation rates on the leeward side of these protrusions allow for a significantly higher temporal resolution. The aim of the study was to determine how temperature has evolved in Fram strait in the last 10,000 years. (More)
