Time-reversed imaging as a diagnostic of wave and particle chaos

RK Snieder, JA Scales - Physical Review E, 1998 - APS
In the presence of multiple scattering, waves and particles behave fundamentally differently.
As a model for the stability of the temporal evolution of particle and wave propagation, a …

Shear‐wave velocities under the Transantarctic Mountains and Terror Rift from surface wave inversion

S Bannister, RK Snieder… - Geophysical Research …, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
Rayleigh wave data between 20 and 120s period recorded in the western Ross Sea region
of Antarctica are inverted using the waveform inversion technique described in Passier and …

Shear wave velocity structure in North America from large‐scale waveform inversions of surface waves

D Alsina, RL Woodward… - Journal of Geophysical …, 1996 - Wiley Online Library
A two‐step nonlinear and linear inversion is carried out to map the lateral heterogeneity
beneath North America using surface wave data. The lateral resolution for most areas of the …

Bias in reported seismic arrival times deduced from the ISC Bulletin

AHE Röhm, J Trampert, H Paulssen… - Geophysical Journal …, 1999 - academic.oup.com
The accurate timing of seismological data is crucial for most quantitative examinations in
seismology. We present evidence that traveltime data from many stations contain systematic …

The stability of one-dimensional inverse scattering

HJS Dorren, EJ Muyzert, RK Snieder - Inverse Problems, 1994 - iopscience.iop.org
The stability of one-dimensional inverse scattering is discussed. The analysis is performed
analytically using perturbation theory for reflection coefficients that are rational functions of …

On the presence of intermediate-scale heterogeneity in the upper mantle

ML Passier, RK Snieder - Geophysical Journal International, 1995 - academic.oup.com
Power spectra of tomographic models of the entire earth and of models of Europe and the
Mediterranean area are compared. This comparison reveals a discrepancy (a factor 15–30) …

Using differential waveform data to retrieve local S velocity structure or path‐averaged S velocity gradients

ML Passier, RK Snieder - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 1995 - Wiley Online Library
An algorithm is presented which uses the surface waveforms originating from one event
recorded in two stations which are located close to each other. The waveforms are inverted for …

Correlation between shear wave upper mantle structure and tectonic surface expressions: Application to central and southern Germany

ML Passier, RK Snieder - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 1996 - Wiley Online Library
We have inverted fundamental mode Rayleigh waveforms in the frequency range from 20 to
100 s to obtain a three‐dimensional S velocity distribution beneath central and southern …

Detection of lateral velocity contrasts by crosswell traveltime tomography

JCM Goudswaard, FPE Ten Kroode, RK Snieder… - Geophysics, 1998 - library.seg.org
Crosswell traveltime tomography is a common technique in the oil industry for determining
the velocity function in the plane between two boreholes. However, the method suffers from …

The role of shear and tensile failure in dynamically triggered landslides

TL Gipprich, RK Snieder, RW Jibson… - Geophysical Journal …, 2008 - academic.oup.com
Dynamic stresses generated by earthquakes can trigger landslides. Current methods of
landslide analysis such as pseudo-static analysis and Newmark's method focus on the effects of …
