Velocity model building is a key step of seismic imaging since inferring high-resolution subsurface model by migration or full waveform inversion (FWI) is highly dependent on the kinematic accuracy of the retrieved velocity model. Stereotomography, a slope tomographic method that exploits well the density of the data, was proposed as an...

The north Ligurian margin is a complex geological area in many ways. It has witnessed several phases of highly contrasting deformation styles, at both crustal scale and that of shallower cover tectonics, simultaneously or in quick succession, and with significant spatial variability. This complex interplay is mirrored in the resulting intricate...

Ultra-long offset seabed acquisitions implemented with sparse array of ocean bottom nodes (OBN) are emerging as the goto strategy for velocity model building. These stationaryrecording geometries provide the flexibility to record a plethora of wave arrivals and in particular diving waves that undershoot the deepest targeted structures. These...

We revisit the hypocentre-velocity problem, which is of interest in different fields as for example microseismics and seismology. We develop a formulation based on kinematic migration of two picked kinematic attributes in the two dimensional case, the traveltime and the slope (horizontal component of the slowness vector), from which we are able...

We revisit the hypocenter-velocity problem which is of interest in different fields as for example microseismics and seismology. We show how, through a formulation based on kinematic migration focusing using two picked kinematic attributes in the two-dimensions case, the travel time and the slope (horizontal component of the slowness vector),...

Abstract. The use of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) presents unique advantages for earthquake monitoring compared with standard seismic networks: spatially dense measurements adapted for harsh environments and designed for remote operation. However, the ability to determine earthquake source parameters using DAS is yet to be fully...

In the last decade, seismic imaging below salt/basaltic bodies proved beyond doubt to be the most challenging task using conventional strategies in terms of surveying, processing and inversion. Recent innovations across the whole workflow pushed further the resolution limit in such complex environments for resource exploration purposes. On the...

The north Ligurian margin is a stretched continental margin located at the junction of the Western Mediterranean Sea and the Alpine belt. This region underwent several phases of contrasting deformation styles. The Ligurian basin opened from late Oligocene to early Miocene times, as a result of a back-arc extension induced by the rollback of the...

The first leg of the SEFASILS cruise took place in November 2018 onboard the RV Pourquoi-Pas ?Up-to-date multichannel and wide-angle seismic data were acquired offshore Monaco, from margin to basin, aiming at providing a renewed vision of the complex North Ligurian backarc system. The compressive and extensive tectonic phases that have closely...
