Seismic waves generated by explosions in, and above, saturated sediments: the Foulness seismoacoustic coupling trials Open
SUMMARY Seismic signals generated by near-surface explosions, with sources including industrial accidents and terrorism, are often analysed to assist post-detonation forensic characterization efforts such as estimating explosive yield. Exp…

Crustal structure of the Central African Plateau from receiver function analysis Open
SUMMARY The Central African Plateau records multiple stages of continental extension and assembly between the Congo and Kalahari cratons in south-central Africa. Of significant interest is the formation of the Neoproterozoic Katangan Basin…

Ringing mountain ranges: teleseismic signature of the interaction of high-frequency wavefields with near-source topography at the Degelen nuclear test site Open
SUMMARY Over the last decade there has been an international effort to find methods to recover and digitise recordings from historical earthquakes and explosions that occurred during the 1950s through to the 1980s. Making these recordings …

A UK <i>M</i>w catalogue derived from coda envelopes Open
SUMMARY The United Kingdom (UK) experiences low-to-moderate levels of seismicity; only 12 onshore earthquakes with local magnitude (ML) ≥ 4.0 have been recorded in the past 20 yr. It is therefore difficult to estimate moment magnitude (Mw)…

Subduction, uplift and serpentinite in Cyprus: insights from seismicity Open
Cyprus sits at the plate boundary between Anatolia in the north and Africa in the south, at a transition from oceanic subduction in the west to continental strike-slip and collision tectonics in the east. The nature of the plate boundary a…

Different Tectonics, Same Approach: Estimation of source parameters using the Coda Calibration Tool (CCT). Open
It is well known that the use of different methods (e.g., spectral fitting, empirical Green’s functions) for compiling catalogs of source parameters (e.g., seismic moment, stress drop) can results in significant inconsistencies (Balt…

NET-VISA from Cradle to Adulthood. A Machine-Learning Tool for Seismo-Acoustic Automatic Association Open
A research concept that was first presented on a poster at a Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) conference in 2009 has resulted in a fully-fledged operational software product named NET-VISA (Network Processing Vertically Integra…

High-frequency hybrid modelling of near-source topographic effects at teleseismic distances: The Degelen mountain case study Open
<p>We apply a hybrid method that couples global Instaseis databases (van Driel et al., 2015) with a local finite-difference code WPP (Nilsson et al., 2007) to study the 1960s-1980s nuclear explosions located at the USSR Degelen mount…

The 2008 and 2012 Moosiyan Earthquake Sequences: Rare Insights into the Role of Strike Slip and Thrust Faulting within the Simply Folded Belt (Iran) Open
The Zagros mountain belt has an unusually large discrepancy between seismic and geodetic strain rates, implying very large aseismic release of strain. However, the spatial and depth relationship between seismic and aseismic deformation is …
