Acoustic monitoring of earthquakes along the Blanco Transform Fault Zone and Gorda plate and their tectonic implications

Creator:

Dziak, Robert P.

Abstract:

Hydroacoustic tertiary (T-) waves are seismically generated acoustic waves that propagate over great distances in the ocean sound channel with little loss in signal strength. Hydrophone recorded T-waves can provide a lower earthquake detection threshold and an improved epicenter location accuracy for oceanic earthquakes than land-based seismic networks. Thus detection...
