Passive seismic imaging of the earth is a rapidly developing field of study. Recent advances in noise cross correlation techniques allow imaging of isotropic surface-wave and shear-wave velocities in areas where earthquake numbers and distributions are insufficient to implement traditional earthquake based tomography. Furthermore, advances in...

The NE dipping slab of the Hellenic subduction is imaged in unprecedented detail using teleseismic receiver function analysis on a dense 2-D seismic array. Mapping of slab geometry for over 300 km along strike and down to 100 km depth reveals a segmentation into dipping panels by along-dip faults. Resolved intermediate-depth seismicity commonly...

We investigate 3-D local earthquake tomography for high-quality travel time arrivals from aftershocks following the 2010 M7.0 Haiti earthquake on the Léogâne fault. The data were recorded by 35 stations, including 19 ocean bottom seismometers, from which we selected 595 events to simultaneously invert for hypocenter location and 3-D Vp and Vs...
