GEOS5337 - Seismic Interferometry

GEOS 5337 Seismic Interferometry (3 semester credit hours) This course is about using continuously recorded seismic ambient noise to study Earth's structure as well as monitoring near surface changes related to tectonic and environmental processes. We will cover topics related to ambient noise data processing, theories on constructing Green's functions, imaging based on ambient noise measurements, and coda wave interferometry (observations and theories). These tools can be used to investigate tectonic processes (earthquakes, volcanoes, etc), as well as monitoring environmental changes (groundwater storage, droughts, flooding, etc).
