- Someone's noise is another one's signal!
Research Topics
We explore new seismic phenomena from background noise by analyzing massive amounts of seismic, barometric, and hydrographic data. Our goal is to understand the physical mechanisms of these phenomena in the framework of the Earth's atmosphere-ocean-solid Earth system.
1) Ambient seismic wave field: studies on microseisms and seismic hum
- What shakes the Earth?
- Tracking storms by seismic observations
- Acoustic coupling among the solid Earth, the ocean and the atmosphere
2) Seismic interferometry: Seismic exploration without earthquakes
- Ambient noise tomography: How to utilize the body wave?
- For environment Seismology
