Testing new passive seismic techniques in South Australia
In April 2018, ANU seismologists headed to remote northern South Australia to test an exciting proof of concept in seismic surveying: a new and cheaper approach to producing detailed, crustal-scale cross sections of the Earth.
The team aims to use seismic signals from both ambient noise and earthquakes to look at the lithospheric structure in detail. They hope that this project will be able to fill the gap between expensive active source seismic lines and larger aperture arrays to provide a detailed crustal scale cross section.
