Direct observation of seismic wavefield gradients – a new approach to seismic experiments
Applications of the resulting new type of data are manifold: They include seismic source and wavefield characterization with single point observations in harsh environments like active volcanoes, the ocean bottom and other planets, the correction of tilt effects, e.g. for high performance seismic isolation facilities, as well as seismic ambient noise interferometry and seismic building monitoring.
We invite contributions on novel measurement techniques and experiment design, on theoretical advances to the seismic wavefield gradient analysis, as well as on all aspects of applications of ground motion gradient observations in seismology, geodesy, planetary exploration, gravitational wave detection and fundamental physics.
