SUMMARY Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) is becoming increasingly popular in microseismic monitoring operations. This data acquisition technology converts fibre-optic cables into dense arrays of seismic sensors that can sample the wavefield produced by active or passive sources with a high spatial density, over distances ranging from few hundred metres to tens kilometres. However, standard analysis procedures have several limitations when dealing (intersensor spacing up submetre scale)...
The recent advances in seismic data acquisition technology allow to transform fiber-optic cables into dense arrays of geophones that sample nearly continuously the wavefield. This technology, known as Distributed Fiber-Optics Sensing (DFOS) (or Acoustic Sensing, DAS), has potential make cost-effective microseismic monitoring operations borehole installations. Unlike conventional geophones, can be easily installed behind well casings without interfering with injection or production...

The site lies on a crystalline basement, made rocks with good geomechanical properties, characterized by negligible groundwater. addition, has very low seismic background noise due to absence active tectonics involving Sardinia.

Abstract The increase of available seismic data prompts the need for automatic processing procedures to fully exploit them. A good example is aftershock sequences recorded by temporary networks, whose thorough analysis challenging because high seismicity rate and station density. Here, we test performance two recent Deep Learning algorithms, Generalized Phase Detection Earthquake Transformer, phases identification. We use from December 2019 Mugello basin (Northern Apennines, Italy) swarm, on...
Abstract The area surrounding the dismissed mine of Sos Enattos (Sardinia, Italy) is Italian candidate site for hosting Einstein Telescope (ET), third-generation gravitational wave (GW) observatory.

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology for microseismic monitoring, especially operations involving borehole installations. Despite the widespread adoption of DAS systems such contexts, many questions regarding data quality recordings are still open. Is self-noise higher than traditional systems? How does ambient noise recorded by a system attenuate with depth as observed geophones? It is known that various types, including...

Automated seismic arrival picking on large and real-time seismological waveform datasets is fundamental for monitoring research. Recent, high-performance pickers apply deep-neural-networks to nearly raw seismogram inputs. However, there a long history of rule-based, automated detection methods that efficiently exploit variations in amplitude, frequency polarization seismograms. Here we use this domain-knowledge transform seismograms as input deep-learning picker. We preprocess 3-component...
&lt;p&gt;The performances and sensitivity of gravitational wave (GW) detectors are significantly affected by the seismic environment. In particular, displacements density fluctuations ground due to seismic-wave propagation introduce noise in detector output signal; this is referred as gravity-gradient noise, or Newtonian Noise (NN). The development effective strategies for mitigating effects NN requires, therefore, a thorough assessment wavefields medium properties at around GW...

The “a priori” knowledge of the physical and characteristics geometry subsoil is basic element both for optimisation design engineering constructions, means to avoid or reduce so called “archaeological risk” which can cause interruption works. On other hand imperfect thoughtless forbidden intervention that follow, produce loss cultural goods without “memory” archaeological remains. Practically very usual in “urgency” condition especially urban areas and/or a building construction. In such...
