Title: High resolution, near-surface seismic investigations using surface and well deployed DASAbstract: This presentation will cover near-surface seismic properties and several geophysical methods mainly including surface wave dispersion inversion (SWDI) and full waveform inversion (FWI), focusing on the capabilities of Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology. The study is underpinned by data collected from Newell County Facility, Alberta, Canada, employing seismic data acquired from both surface-deployed and vertical seismic profile (VSP) DAS fiber. This research showcases the potential of horizontal and well DAS data in high-resolution, near-surface investigations. About the Speaker: Dr. Qu got her Ph.D. in geophysics from University of Calgary supervised by Kris Innanen. She worked with CREWES, the largest international exploration geophysics team, on near surface investigations with multiple geophysical methods. About the series: The MIT Earth Resources Laboratory’s Friday Informal Seminar Series (FISH) features talks by our lab members as well as special guests from academia and the energy industry on our areas of interest including geothermal energy, carbon sequestration, machine learning for geophysics, multiphase flow, subsurface imaging, and uncertainty quantification.
