Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) provides an attractive solution for ocean-bottom seismological instrumentation by providing a dense and long-distance measurement of the deformation of the ground along offshore submarine fiber-optic cables. This study reports analyses made on records acquired with a network located along the Chilean margin....

We report in this study how ocean-bottom seismometers (OBS) can be used as passive sonars to automatically detect, localize, and track moving acoustic sources at the ocean surface. We developed single-station methods based on direction of arrival and on multi-path interference measurements capable of handling continuous erratic signals emitted...

The possibility to exploit fibre optic cables through DistributedAcoustic Sensing (DAS) systems is a powerful tool for seismologists, providing spa-tially continuous recordings of earthquakes. This technology is suitable for the anal-ysis of seismic ruptures, continuously mapping the source properties as observedalong the sensed cable. In this...

Abstract Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is becoming a powerful tool for earthquake monitoring, providing continuous strain‐rate records of seismic events along fiber optic cables. However, the use of standard seismological techniques for earthquake source characterization requires the conversion of data in ground motion quantities. In this...

Fiber-optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is of critical value for the expansion of seismological networks, particularly in regions that are hard to instrument. The work presented here is part of the 5-year ERC ABYSS project, which aims at building a permanent seafloor observatory to increase our ability to capture low magnitude seismic...

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is of critical value for the offshore expansion of seismological networks. The work presented here is part of the 5-years ERC ABYSS project, which aims at building a permanent seafloor seismic observatory leveraging offshore telecommunication cables along the central coast of Chile. In preparation for this...

Continuous seismic monitoring of volcanoes is challenging due to harsh environments and associated hazards. However, the investigation of volcanic phenomena is essential for eruption forecasting. In seismo-volcanic applications, Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) offers new possibilities for long-duration surveys. We analyse DAS strain rate...

On continental margins, sediments cause significant and spatially variable delays in seismic phase arrival times. The strong impedance contrast of the sediment‐bedrock interface causes P‐wave splitting that is clearly seen on distributed acoustic sensing recordings of earthquakes, resulting in additional phase arrivals that must be picked...

Over a period of less than a decade, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) has become a well-established technology in seismology. For historical and practical reasons, DAS manufacturers usually provide instruments that natively record strain (rate) as the principal measurement. While at first glance strain recordings seem related to ground motion...

In many areas with high telluric hazard, our understanding of the seismogenic and mechanical processes is limited by the difficulty or impossibility to deploy arrays of high performance seismometers or of other geophsyical sensors, due to high cost and/or difficulty of the installation and maintenance. This led us to develope several optical...
