S-WAVE VELOCITY MODEL FOR MONITORING INDUCED SEISMICITY IN GEOTHERMAL EXPLORATION

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

S-wave velocity models are usually poorly constrained in newly developed areas for geothermal heating exploration. Nevertheless, an S-wave model is needed for accurate location of sources of induced seismicity from sparse seismic arrays. We apply seismic noise interferometry to obtain surface waves between receivers and invert the surface waves to determine S-wave velocity structure below an array. We show an application to a sparse array in urban environment in the west of the Netherlands, where significantly low S-wave velocities indicate highly saturated and not very well consolidated sediments.
