During a quarter of a century, the main characteristics of the horizontal-to-vertical spectral
ratio of ambient noise HVSRN have been extensively used for site effect assessment. In …

The long‐term exploitation of the Groningen gas field led to compaction at reservoir depth,
subsequent ground subsidence, and recently earthquakes. As part of an ongoing effort to …

We present the theory for wave-equation inversion of dispersion curves, where the misfit
function is the sum of the squared differences between the wavenumbers along the …

Sedimentary basins increase the damaging effects of earthquakes by trapping and
amplifying seismic waves. Simulations of seismic wave propagation in sedimentary basins …

We propose a methodology to analyze three‐dimensional (3D) nonlinear soil–structure
interaction (SSI) problems for Rayleigh (R) wave incidence in horizontally layered soils. The …

Predicting accurate ground motion is critical for earthquake hazard analysis, particularly in
situations where sedimentary basins trap and amplify seismic waves. We exploit the …

Firn is the pervasive surface material across Antarctica, and its structures reflect its formation
and history in response to environmental perturbations. In addition to the role of firn in …

Traditional free vibration-based forward models generate theoretical dispersion curves
under the assumption of planar waves, neglecting the influence of the actual source-receiver …

Seismic wave resonance in sedimentary basins is a well-recognized seismic hazard;
however, concentrated areas of earthquake damage have been observed near basin edges …

Whether intermediate-depth earthquakes beneath Tibet and the Himalaya are in the lower
crust or upper mantle should provide insight into rheology, hence composition and …
