  2. 26. Scattering of seismic waves in random velocity models : Finite difference simulation

    Author : Lena Frenje; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Geofysik med inriktning mot fasta jordens fysik; Geophysics with specialization in Solid Earth Physics;

    Abstract : The small-scale heterogeneities within the Earth's crust and the effect these heterogeneities have on seismic waves have gained increasing interest in the last 15 years. One approach to study seismic wave scattering is through numerical simulations in random media. READ MORE

  4. 27. Electromagnetic studies of the continental crust in Sweden

    Author : Mehran Gharibi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Geofysik med inriktning mot fasta jordens fysik; Geophysics with specialization in Solid Earth Physics;

    Abstract : Plane-wave electromagnetic methods are powerful tools for probing the earth from the surfaceto depths of a few hundred kilometers. The airborne VLF technique is widely used to map theelectrical conductivity variations of shallow geological structures. READ MORE

  5. 28. Hydrogeophysics of Tropical Africa : Recent advances and perspectives

    Author : Elónio Muiuane; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Geofysik med inriktning mot fasta jordens fysik; Geophysics with specialization in Solid Earth Physics;

    Abstract : In the present work an attempt is made to put into perspective the hydrogeophysical investigations for rural water supply carried out over the last two decades in tropical Africa, paying special attention to groundwater targets in the weathered rocks in and above the crystalline basement. The applicability of geophysical techniques in groundwater investigations in tropical Africa, particularly the DC resistivity and electromagnetic techniques is discussed in the light of recent developments in instrumentation, data collection and interpretation procedures.

  6. 29. Crustal stress studies using microearthquakes and boreholes

    Author : Björn Lund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Geofysik med inriktning mot fasta jordens fysik; Geophysics with specialization in Solid Earth Physics;

    Abstract : The state of stress in the crust is essential for the understanding of geodynamic processes such as the transmission of plate driving forces through the lithosphere and the triggering of earthquakes. This thesis describes the development and application of new methods for the estimation of crustal stresses. READ MORE

  7. 30. Structural and neural network analyses of fracture systems at the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory, SE Sweden

    Author : Manhal Sirat; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Fractures; artificial neural networks; data analysis; Äspö HRL; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Geofysik med inriktning mot fasta jordens fysik; Geophysics with specialization in Solid Earth Physics;

    Abstract : The > 10,000 fractures documented in the 450m deep Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory (HRL) provide a unique opportunity to study brittle deformation of a Swedish bedrock mass. The fracture population consists of six major sets, one subhorizontal and five sub-vertical. READ MORE
