    Campi Flegrei active seismic experiments waveforms compilation (2007)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-01-11
    Description: A new experiment called SERAPIS (SEismic Reflection/Refraction Acquisition Project for Imaging complex volcanic Structures) has been planned and carried out, based on off-shore seismic energization and data acquisition on land and on sea-bottom. The experiment was performed in September, 2001 during which the vessel NADIR of IFREMER (equipped with 12, 16-liters airgun) produced more than 5000 air gun shots recorded at a sea-bottom seismograph array of 72 OBS and 62 stations installed on-land. Active seismic refraction DSS (Deep Seismic Soundings) acquired during the surveys conducted in 1980 and 1985 were recovered jointly with seismic data acquired in the Campi Flegrei area in the framework of the MareVes97 (an experiment devoted to the definition of the structure of the Somma-Vesuvio complex) offshore survey. The data set acquired during the SERAPIS experiment has been successfully used to infer 3D images of the volcanic structures of Campi Flegrei and Neapolitan bay. Active seismic waveforms and related P-picks (more than 90000 data) from the SERAPIS experiment are also available in the project data server.

    2D seismic tomography of Somma- Vesuvius. Description of the experiment and preliminary results. (2006)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-12-03
    Description: A multidisciplinary project for the investigation of Mt. Vesuvius Structure was started in 1993. The core of the project is represented by a high resolution seismic tomography study by using controlled and natura1 sources. The main research objective is to investigate the feeding system of the vo1cano and to retrieve details of the upper crustal structure in the area. A first 2D using seismic experiment was performed in May 1994, with the aim of studing the feasibility of lIsing tomographic techniques for exploring the vo1cano interiors. Particularly, this experiment was designed to obtain information on the optimal sources-receivers configuration and on the depth extension of the volume sampled by shot-generated seismic waves. 66 three-component seismic stations and 16 single-component analogue instruments were installed by several Italian and French groups to record signals generated by three on-land, underground explosions. Sources and geophones were deployed along a 30-km NW-SE profile passing through the volcano crater. Receivers were placed at an average spacing of 250 m in the middle of the recording line and at 500 m outside. The arrival time data base was complemented by first P and S readings of micro earthquakes which occurred in the recent past within the volcano. The first arrival data set was preliminary used to determine the shallow structure of the volcano by applying Thurber's (1983) tomographic inversion technique. This analysis shows evidence for a high-velocity body which extends vertically from about 400 m below the crater down to at least 3000 m and for a shallow 300-500 m thick low-velocity cover which borders the edifice. Data from the distant shot show evidence for arrivals of deep reflected/converted phases and provide information on the deeper structure under the volcano. The results from the interpretation of 2D data are used for planning a 3D tomographic survey which will be cauied out in 1996.

    A 3D velocity model for earthquake location in Campi Flegrei area: application to the 1982-84 uplift event (2007)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-11-30
    Description: The uplift crisis of the 1982-1984 in the Campi Flegrei area underlined the importance of seismic surveillance for this volcanic caldera. One of the key elements for an effective seismic network is to make use of a reliable velocity model for earthquake location. In the present work we will discuss criteria for the construction and validation of a new 3D P-wave velocity model for earthquake location in the Campi Flegrei area built from the integration of two high-resolution 3D tomographic images of the region. The model is used for locating a group of earthquakes from the uplift event of the 1982-1984.

    A rock physics and seismic tomography study to characterize the structure of the Campi Flegrei caldera (2007)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-12-01
    Description: The Campi Flegrei (CF) caldera experiences dramatic ground deformations unsurpassed anywhere in the world. The source responsible for this phenomenon is still debated. With the aim of exploring the structure of the caldera as well as the role of hydrothermal fluids on velocity changes, a multidisciplinary approach dealing with 3-D delay-time tomography and rock physics characterization has been followed. Selected seismic data were modeled by using a tomographic method based on an accurate finite-difference travel-time computation which simultaneously inverts P-wave and S-wave first-arrival times for both velocity model parameters and hypocenter locations. The retrieved P-wave and S-wave velocity images as well as the deduced Vp/Vs images were interpreted by using experimental measurements of rock physical properties on CF samples, to take into account steam/water phase transition mechanisms affecting P-wave and S-wave velocities. Also, modelling of petrophysical properties for site-relevant rocks constrains the role of overpressured fluids on velocity. A flat and low Vp/Vs anomaly lies at 4 km depth under the city of Pozzuoli. Earthquakes are located at the top of this anomaly. This anomaly implies the presence of fractured over-pressured gas-bearing formations and excludes the presence of melted rocks. At shallow depth, a high Vp/Vs anomaly located at 1 km suggests the presence of rocks containing fluids in the liquid phase. Finally, maps of the Vp*Vs product show a high Vp*Vs horse-shoe shaped anomaly located at 2 km depth. It is consistent with gravity data and well data and might constitute the on-land remainder of the caldera rim, detected below sea level by tomography using active source seismic data. For a more exhaustive description of the utilized methodologies, of synthetic tests for spatial resolution and uncertainty assessment and, the interpretation of results, the reader may refer to the paper Vanorio et al. (2005).

    Non-linear 2-D traveltime inversion in complex media: application to the Southern Apennines (Italy) (2007)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: A new traveltime inversion method based on a non linear approach and multi scale process has been applied to a seismic data set acquired with a non conventional acquisition layout in a thrust-belt region. First arrivals and a main reflected phase have been hand picked. A first inversion is realized with only the first arrival traveltimes in order to obtain a 2D velocity image. The latter has been then used as background model for the interpretation of the reflected phase using another non linear multi scale inversion technique. Finally, the whole data set has been jointly inverted. The final velocity images are compared in order to assess the resolution and smearing effect. Moreover, the availability of a VSP survey allows us to independently assess the reliability of our results

    Depth and morphology of reflectors from the non-linear inversion of arrival times and waveforms semblance data. Part II: Modelling and interpretation of real data acquired in Southern Apennines, Italy (2008)
    Blackwell publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: In order to retrieve a 2D background velocity model and to retrieve the geometry and depth of shallow crustal reflectors in the Southern Apennines thrust belt a separate inversion of first arrival traveltimes and reflected waveforms was performed. Data were collected during an active seismic experiment in 1999 by Enterprise Oil Italiana and Eni-Agip using a global offset acquisition geometry. A total of 284 on-land shots were recorded by 201 receivers deployed on an 18 km line oriented SW–NE in the Val D’Agri region (Southern Apennines, Italy). The two-step procedure allows for the retrieval of a reliable velocity model by using a non-linear tomographic inversion and reflected waveform semblance data inversion. The tomographic model shows that the P wave velocity field varies vertically from approximately 3 km/s to 6 km/s within 4 km from the Earth’s surface. Moreover, at a distance of approximately 11 km along the profile, there is an abrupt increase in the velocity field. In this zone indeed, an ascent from 2 km depth to 0 km above sea level of the 5.2 km/s iso-velocity contour can be noted. The retrieved velocity can be associated with Plio-Pleistocene clastic deposits outcropping in the basin zone and with Mesozoic limestone deposits. The inversion of waveform semblance data shows that a P-to-P reflector is retrieved at a depth of approximately 2 km. This interface is deeper in the north-eastern part of the profile, where it reaches 3 km depth and can be associated with a limestone horizon.

    Three-dimensional tomography and rock properties of the Larderello-Travale (2008)
    Elsevier
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: In a geothermal area, a detailed knowledge of the three-dimensional velocity structures aids the managementof the field and the further development of the geothermal source. Here,we present a high-resolution study of the three-dimensional S-wave velocity structures from microearthquake travel times for the Larderello-Travale geothermal field, Italy.We have also deduced the Vp/Vs and Vp ×Vs parameters for this area toemphasize the deep variations in the physical rock properties due to fluid content and porosity. Furthermore, effective porousmedium modelling has been performed for site-relevant lithologies, to improve our interpretation of the results in terms of rock physics signatures. This has allowed us to estimate the variation range of the seismological parameters investigated, as well as their sensitivity for suitable rock under specific physical conditions. LowVp/Vs anomalies, arising froma lower Vp compared to Vs, dominate the geothermal field of Larderello-Travale. These have been interpreted as due to steam-bearing formations. On the contrary, analysis of Vp ×Vs images provides information on the relative changes in rock porosity at depth. Comparison of tomographic section images with previously interpreted seismic lines suggests that the reflective ‘K-horizon’ delineates a transition between zones that have different porosities or crack gatherings. The ‘K-horizon’ also lies on low Vp/Vs anomalies, which suggests a steam saturation zone, despite the reduced porosity at this depth.

    Depth of a Midcrustal Discontinuity beneath Mt. Vesuvius from the Stacking of Reflected and Converted Waves on Local Earthquake Records (2005)
    The Seismological Society of America
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: We have developed a technique based on the move-out and stack of reflected seismic phases from local earthquake seismograms. For a given interface depth and a velocity model, the theoretical travel times of reflected/converted phases in a 1D medium are computed and used to align in time the vertical-component microearthquake records collected by a local seismic network. The locations and origin times of events are preliminarily estimated from P and S arrival times. Different seismic gathers are obtained for each considered reflected/converted phase at that interface, and the best interface depth is chosen as the one that maximizes the value of a semblance function computed on moved-out records. This method has been applied to seismic records of microearthquakes that occur at Mt. Vesuvius volcano. The analysis confirms the evidence for an 8 to 10-km-deep seismic discontinuity beneath the volcano, which was previously identified, by migration of active seismic data, as the roof of an extended magmatic sill.

    Morphology and depth of reflectors from 2D non-linear inversion of seismic data (2007)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: We present here two methods to obtain reflection images of upper crust seismic reflectors. The techniques are based on migration and waveform coherence analysis of reflected seismic phases recorded in local earthquake seismograms and in active seismic data. The first method is a move-out and stack of reflected seismic phases in local earthquake recordings. The theoretical travel times of reflected/converted phases in a 1D medium for a given interface depth and velocity model are used to align the recordings in time. The locations and origin times of events are initially estimated from the P and S arrival times. Different seismic gathers are obtained for each reflected/converted phase at the interface under consideration, and the best interface depth is chosen as that which maximizes the value of a semblance function computed on moved-out records. This method has been applied to seismic records of microearthquakes that have occurred at the Mt. Vesuvius volcano, and it confirms the reports of an 8- to 10-km-deep seismic discontinuity beneath the volcano that was previously identified as the roof of an extended magmatic sill. The second is a non-linear 2D method for the inversion of reflection travel times aimed at the imaging of a target upper-crust reflector. This method is specifically designed for geophysical investigations in complex geological environments (oil investigations, retrieving of images of volcano structures) where the presence of complex structures makes the standard velocity analysis difficult and degrades the quality of migrated images. Our reflector is represented by nodes of a cubic-spline that are equally spaced at fixed horizontal locations. The method is based on a multiscale approach and uses a global optimization technique (genetic algorithm) that explores the whole of the parameter space, i.e. the interface position nodes. The forward problem (the modelling of reflection travel times) is solved using the finite-difference solver of Podvine & Lecomte (1991) and using an a priori known background velocity model. This non-linear method allows the automated determination of the global minimum (or maximum) without relying on estimates of the gradient of the objective function in the starting model and without making assumptions about the nature of the objective function itself. We have used two types of objective functions. The first is a least-squares L2 norm, defined as the sum of the squared differences between the observed and the calculated travel times. The second is based on coherence measures (semblance). The main advantage of using coherence measures is that they do not require travel-time picking to assess the degree of fit to the data model. Thus, the time performance of the whole procedure is improved and the subjectivity of the human operators in the picking procedure is removed. The methods are tested on synthetic models and have been applied to a subset of data that was collected during the active seismic experiments performed in September 2001 in the gulfs of Naples and Pozzuoli in the framework of what is known as the SERAPIS project.

    Morphology and depth of seismic reflectors from 2D non-linear inversion of reflected arrival times and waveforms. Part I: Application to synthetic data computed in a complex volcanic structure (2008)
    Blackwell Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: We propose a two-dimensional, non-linear method for the inversion of reflected/ converted traveltimes and waveform semblance designed to obtain the location and morphology of seismic reflectors in a lateral heterogeneous medium and in any source-to-receiver acquisition lay-out. This method uses a scheme of non-linear optimization for the determination of the interface parameters where the calculation of the traveltimes is carried out using a finite-difference solver of the Eikonal equation, assuming an a priori known background velocity model. For the search for the optimal interface model, we used a multiscale approach and the genetic algorithm global optimization technique. During the initial stages of inversion, we used the arrival times of the reflection phase to retrieve the interface model that is defined by a small number of parameters. In the successive steps, the inversion is based on the optimization of the semblance value determined along the calculated traveltime curves. Errors in the final model parameters and the criteria for the choice of the best-fit model are also estimated from the shape of the semblance function in the model parameter space. The method is tested and validated on a synthetic dataset that simulates the acquisition of reflection data in a complex volcanic structure. This study shows that the proposed inversion approach is a valid tool for geophysical investigations in complex geological environments, in order to obtain the morphology and positions of embedded discontinuities.
