Interchangeable Use of GNSS and Seismic Data for Rapid Earthquake Characterization: 2021 Chignik Earthquake, Alaska

Earthquake magnitude estimation using peak ground velocities (PGV) derived from 13 Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) data has shown promise for rapid 14 characterization of damaging earthquakes. Here we examine the feasibility of using 15 GNSS-derived velocity waveforms as interchangeable data for ground motion estimation 16 and other products that typically rely on strong-motion seismic records. Our study 17 compares PGVs derived from high-rate GNSS to those computed from high-rate seismic 18 records (strong-motion and velocity), at co- and closely-located stations. The recent 2021 Manuscript Click here to access/download;Manuscript;Manuscript_Final.docx 2 19 Mw 8.2 Chignik earthquake in Alaska that was recorded on co-located GNSS and strong20 motion sensors provides the perfect opportunity to compare the two data streams and 21 their application in rapid response. The Chignik velocity records appear almost identical 22 at co-located GNSS and strong-motion stations when observed at frequencies < 0.25 Hz. 23 GNSS and strong-motion derived velocity data are further employed to generate rapid 24 estimates of PGV-derived moment magnitudes for the earthquake. The moment 25 magnitude estimates from GNSS and joint GNSS/seismic data are within ~ ±0.4 26 magnitude units (Fang et al., 2020) of the final magnitude (Mw 8.2). ShakeMaps 27 generated for the 2021 Chignik earthquake using GNSS and seismic PGVs show notable 28 agreement between them, and show negligible shifts in PGV contours when co-/closely 29 located GNSS and seismic stations are substituted for one another. Therefore, we posit 30 that GNSS is a powerful alternative or addition to seismic data and vice versa.

Constraints on the Lunar Interior Through Comparison of Observed Apollo Seismic Travel Time With Simulated Lunar Interiors

Understanding the current state of the lunar interior is key to evaluating its formation history and evolution. The analyses of seismic waves recorded by 5 years of the Apollo passive seismic network, from 1972-1977, have provided some fundamental constraints on the lunar interior structure. Here, we show that comparisons between (a) calculated seismic velocities of simulated lunar interiors and (b) measured Apollo seismic velocities can resolve new solutions. Specifically, we show that comparison of seismic travel times can be used to constrain the lower bound of possible selenotherms.

Gas hydrate characterization from a 3D seismic dataset in the deepwater eastern Gulf of Mexico

Seismic stratigraphic features are delineated using principal component analysis of the band limited data at potential gas hydrate sands, and compared and calibrated with spectral decomposition thickness to constrain thickness in the absence of well control. Layers in the abyssal fan sediments are thinner than can be resolved with 50 Hz seismic and thus comprise composite thin-bed reflections. Amplitude vs frequency analysis are used to indicate gas and gas hydrate reflections. Synthetic seismic wedge models show that with 50Hz seismic data, a 40% saturation of a Plio Pleistocene GoM sand in the hydrate stability zone with no subjacent gas can produce a phase change (negative to positive) with a strong correlation between amplitude and hydrate saturation. The synthetic seismic response is more complicated if the gas hydrate filled sediments overlie gassy sediments. Hydrate (or gas) saturation in thin beds enhances the amplitude response and can be used to estimate saturation. Gas hydrate saturation from rock physics, amplitude, and frequency analysis is compared to saturation derived from inversion at several interpreted gas hydrate accumulations in the eastern Gulf of Mexico.

Distributed Fiber Optic Arrays: Integrated Temperature and Seismic Sensing for Detection of CO 2 Flow, Leakage and Subsurface Distribution (Final Report)

This report describes the seismic and heat-pulse monitoring equipment, surveys, results and accomplishments of the fiber optic (FO) project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under Agreement Number DE-FE0012700. The formal title of the project is “Distributed Fiber Optic Arrays: Integrated Temperature and Seismic Sensing for Detection of CO 2 Flow, Leakage and Subsurface Distribution.” The project focuses on the field acquisition of FO data using Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) arrays for subsurface imaging of geologic structure and to track the CO 2 migration in the injection interval using time-lapse techniques. A second component of the project uses a novel heat-pulse monitoring method that relies on Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) to evaluate near-field leakage of CO 2 or brine in and around the wellbore. The Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration (SECARB) partnership hosted the project at the Anthropogenic Test site near Citronelle, Alabama after the original site host, the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS), experienced significant delays in permitting its CO 2 injection well at the Wellington Oil Field site in Kansas. The KGS project was later terminated in 2017 before an injection permit issued. A second field trial was planned for the Livingston Oil Field, located in Louisiana, but the site host ran into financial troubles and the project was terminated in 2015. A replacement field-site host was not found for the Livingston field trial. Both the Wellington, Kansas and Livingston, Louisiana projects were funded by DOE. A novel sensor platform referred to as the Modular Borehole Monitoring (MBM) system deployed at the Citronelle field site was utilized by the FO project. Two different seismic sensor technologies were incorporated in the Citronelle MBM system design including: (1) a semi-permanent, tubing-deployed, 18-level geophone array with custom hydraulic clamps; and (2) two, single mode optical fibers for Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS). Incorporation of the 18-level geophone array in the MBM system provided an ideal opportunity to compare the DAS response to conventional geophones. A heat-pulse monitoring system consisting of two, multi-mode optical fibers for Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) and copper heater element were also incorporated into the MBM package. This report provides an overview of the design of the MBM, DAS, and DTS equipment and the surveys performed during the study. The heat-pulse monitoring technique was used to diagnose a completion problem with observation well D-9-8 #2 where the MBM system was installed in 2012, thus successfully demonstrating its application for leak detection. In 2015, CO 2 unexpectedly arrived at the observation well approximately one year after CO 2 injection and heat-pulse monitoring ended. It was determined at this time that saltwater intrusion had likely penetrated the stainless-steel capillary tube containing the fibers and copper heater elements, thus preventing the heater from being used. DTS measurements indicated that the fiber had also degraded probably due to hydrogen darkening. It is recommended that the capillary tube be constructed of a more corrosive resistant material (e.g., Inconel) in the future should it be deployed in similar harsh downhole environments. Geophysical imaging of the subsurface and monitoring of the CO 2 were successful using DAS in the vertical seismic profile (VSP) survey configuration. A high resolution VSP image of the subsurface was obtained in 2014 using DAS, which exceeded our expectations in comparison to a lower resolution image obtained by SECARB in 2012 using an 80-level geophone array. A time-lapse image of the redistribution of CO 2 after injection ended in September 2014 was obtained using two DAS VSP surveys from June 2014 and December 2015, thus successfully demonstrating its application. DAS data were also acquired during a crosswell seismic survey conducted in 2014. Unfortunately, the DAS technique was not success in the crosswell survey configuration because the noise level was too high, increasing by a factor of ten, over the high frequency output (100-1,200) of the piezoelectric source.

Material transfers detection with seismic observations

We are exploring the use of data from a seismic network around a research nuclear reactor and isotope production facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to study activity patterns related to the transfer of nuclear material. A sensor network with eight seismometers was installed around the High Flux Isotope Reactor and the Radiochemical Engineering Development Center and started operating in October 2019. These data are used to detect and characterize operational events around facility. We are using those data to extract signals related to the movement of vehicles involved in the transport of nuclear materials (e.g., transportation of reactor fuel, targets, and product isotopes). Large vehicles produce mechanical energy that can be observed as seismic signals, either as the result of sound emanating from the vehicle engine or by the generation of surface waves as a response of the ground to the load of the vehicles. In particular, the station located near the entrance gate of the facility displays a clear seismic signature as vehicles cross a metal platform on the ground. This signal is characterized by sharp energy bursts that correspond to the number of axles on the vehicle. We developed and are testing an algorithm to identify sequences of energy bursts to count and characterize vehicles of different sizes. We are also exploring the use of seismic polarization analysis to measure the degree of polarization of the observed signals. These two techniques for detection and characterization of vehicles used for nuclear material transfers will be validated with seismic data from a targeted collection using different vehicles and routes similar to the ones used in real-life scenarios at the High Flux Isotope Reactor.

Seismicity on the western Greenland Ice Sheet: Surface fracture in the vicinity of active moulins

We analyzed geophone and GPS measurements collected within the ablation zone of the western Greenland Ice Sheet during a ~35 day period of the 2011 melt season to study changes in ice deformation before, during, and after a supraglacial lake drainage event. During rapid lake drainage, ice flow speeds increased to ~400% of winter values, and icequake activity peaked. At times >7 days after drainage, this seismicity developed variability over both diurnal and longer periods (~10 days), while coincident ice speeds fell to ~150% of winter values and showed nightly peaks in spatial variability. Approximately 95% of all detected seismicity in the lake basin and its immediate vicinity was triggered by fracture propagation within near-surface ice (<330 m deep) that generated Rayleigh waves. Icequakes occurring before and during drainage frequently were collocated with the down flow (west) end of the primary hydrofracture through which the lake drained but shifted farther west and outside the lake basin after the drainage. We interpret these results to reveal vertical hydrofracture opening and local uplift during the drainage, followed by enhanced seismicity and ice flow on the downstream side of the lake basin. This region collocates with interferometric synthetic aperture radar-measured speedup in previous years and could reflect the migration path of the meltwater supplied to the bed by the lake. The diurnal seismic signal can be associated with nightly reductions in surface melt input that increase effective basal pressure and traction, thereby promoting elevated strain in the surficial ice.

Subsurface Structure of Long Valley Caldera Imaged With Seismic Scattering and Intrinsic Attenuation

Here we image seismic intrinsic (Q i -1 ) and scattering (Q s -1 ) attenuations in Long Valley Caldera, California, by analyzing more than 1,700 vertical component waveforms from local earthquakes. Observed energy envelopes are fit to the diffusion model and seismic attenuation images are produced using two-dimensional space weighting functions. Low intrinsic and low scattering attenuation anomalies in the center south of the caldera correspond to the location of an earthquake swarm in 2014. We identify high intrinsic and high scattering attenuation anomalies in the fluid-rich western and eastern areas of the caldera. From a comparison with other geophysical images (magnetotellurics and seismic tomography) we attribute these anomalies to a hydrothermal system (high attenuation). Average to high attenuation values are also observed at the adjacent Mammoth Mountain (southwest of the caldera) and may also have a hydrothermal origin. High intrinsic attenuation at low frequencies to the west of the Hartley Springs Fault may be produced by the magmatic system that produced the Inyo Craters. Finally, seismic attenuation imaging provides insights into subsurface structures that are complementary to velocity and conductivity images.

Induced seismicity and geothermal energy production in the Salton Sea Geothermal Field, California

We analyze the relationship between geothermal energy production and seismic hazards in the Salton Sea Geothermal Field (SSGF) between 1972 and 2022. A clear increase in seismic activity accompanies geothermal energy production and is greatest to the east of the Brawley fault, where the amount of injection exceeds the amount of production. We estimate that, whereas there was a 2% chance of a M6.07 earthquake nucleating inside the SSGF within a fifty-year period prior to energy production (pre-production), there is an equal probability that a M6.70 earthquake nucleates there in a fifty-year period during which historically average energy production conditions persist (syn-production). Similarly, we estimate a 2% chance of a M7.15 and M6.92 occurring in the broader Brawley Seismic Zone (excluding the SSGF) within a fifty-year period during the pre- and syn-production eras, respectively. We find that linear regression models fail to reliably forecast the background seismicity rate as a function of fluid production and injection.

Seismic isolation of two dimensional periodic foundations

Phononic crystal is now used to control acoustic waves. When the crystal goes to a larger scale, it is called periodic structure. The band gaps of the periodic structure can be reduced to range from 0.5 Hz to 50 Hz. Therefore, the periodic structure has potential applications in seismic wave reflection. In civil engineering, the periodic structure can be served as the foundation of upper structure. This type of foundation consisting of periodic structure is called periodic foundation. When the frequency of seismic waves falls into the band gaps of the periodic foundation, the seismic wave can be blocked. Field experiments of a scaled two dimensional (2D) periodic foundation with an upper structure were conducted to verify the band gap effects. Test results showed the 2D periodic foundation can effectively reduce the response of the upper structure for excitations with frequencies within the frequency band gaps. When the experimental and the finite element analysis results are compared, they agree well with each other, indicating that 2D periodic foundation is a feasible way of reducing seismic vibrations.

Mobile seismic exploration

Laser-Doppler-Vibrometry (LDV) is an established technique to measure vibrations in technical systems with picometer vibration-amplitude resolution. Especially good sensitivity and resolution can be achieved at an infrared wavelength of 1550 nm. High-resolution vibration measurements are possible over more than 100 m distance. This advancement of the LDV technique enables new applications. The detection of seismic waves is an application which has not been investigated so far because seismic waves outside laboratory scales are usually analyzed at low frequencies between approximately 1 Hz and 250 Hz and require velocity resolutions in the range below 1 nm/s/√Hz. Thermal displacements and air turbulence have critical influences to LDV measurements at this low-frequency range leading to noise levels of several 100 nm/√Hz. Commonly seismic waves are measured with highly sensitive inertial sensors (geophones or Micro Electro-Mechanical Sensors (MEMS)). Approaching a laser geophone based on LDV technique is the topic of this paper. We have assembled an actively vibration-isolated optical table in a minivan which provides a hole in its underbody. The laser-beam of an infrared LDV assembled on the optical table impinges the ground below the car through the hole. A reference geophone has detected remaining vibrations on the table. We present the results from the first successful experimental demonstration of contactless detection of seismic waves from a movable vehicle with a LDV as laser geophone.

Regional seismic velocity changes following the 2019 M w 7.1 Ridgecrest, California earthquake from autocorrelations and P / S converted waves

SUMMARY We examine regional transient changes of seismic velocities generated by the 2019 Mw 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake in California, using autocorrelations of moving time windows in continuous waveforms recorded at regional stations. We focus on traveltime differences in a prominent phase generated by an interface around 2 km depth, associated with transmitted Pp waves and converted Ps waves from the ongoing microseismicity. Synthetic tests demonstrate the feasibility of the method for monitoring seismic velocity changes. Taking advantage of the numerous aftershocks in the early period following the main shock, we obtain a temporal resolution of velocity changes up to 20 min in the early post-main-shock period. The results reveal regional coseismic velocity drops in the top 1–3 km with an average value of ∼2 per cent over distances up to 100 km from the Ridgecrest event. These average velocity drops are likely dominated by larger changes in the shallow materials and are followed by rapid recoveries on timescales of days. Around the north end of the Ridgecrest rupture and the nearby Coso geothermal region, the observed coseismic velocity drops are up to ∼8 per cent. The method allows monitoring temporal changes of seismic velocities with high temporal resolution, fast computation and precise spatial mapping of changes. The results suggest that significant temporal changes of seismic velocities of shallow materials are commonly generated on a regional scale by large events.

3D Seismic Experimentation and Advanced Processing/Inversion Development for Investigations of the Shallow Subsurface

The work plan for this project was to develop and apply advanced seismic reflection and wide-angle processing and inversion techniques to high resolution seismic data for the shallow subsurface to seismically characterize the shallow subsurface at hazardous waste sites as an aid to containment and cleanup activities. We proposed to continue work on seismic data that we had already acquired under a previous DoE grant, as well as to acquire additional new datasets for analysis. The project successfully developed and/or implemented the use of 3D reflection seismology algorithms, waveform tomography and finite-frequency tomography using compressional and shear waves for high resolution characterization of the shallow subsurface at two waste sites. These two sites have markedly different near-surface structures, groundwater flow patterns, and hazardous waste problems. This is documented in the list of refereed documents, conference proceedings, and Rice graduate theses, listed below.

Proposed Risk-Informed Seismic Hazard Periodic Reevaluation Methodology for Complying with DOE Order 420.1C

Department of Energy (DOE) nuclear facilities must comply with DOE Order 420.1C Facility Safety, which requires that all such facilities review their natural phenomena hazards (NPH) assessments no less frequently than every ten years. The Order points the reader to Standard DOE-STD-1020-2012. In addition to providing a discussion of the applicable evaluation criteria, the Standard references other documents, including ANSI/ANS-2.29-2008 and NUREG-2117. These documents provide supporting criteria and approaches for evaluating the need to update an existing probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA). All of the documents are consistent at a high level regarding the general conceptual criteria that should be considered. However, none of the documents provides step-by-step detailed guidance on the required or recommended approach for evaluating the significance of new information and determining whether or not an existing PSHA should be updated. Further, all of the conceptual approaches and criteria given in these documents deal with changes that may have occurred in the knowledge base that might impact the inputs to the PSHA, the calculated hazard itself, or the technical basis for the hazard inputs. Given that the DOE Order is aimed at achieving and assuring the safety of nuclear facilities—which is a function not only of the level of the seismic hazard but also the capacity of the facility to withstand vibratory ground motions—the inclusion of risk information in the evaluation process would appear to be both prudent and in line with the objectives of the Order. The purpose of this white paper is to describe a risk-informed methodology for evaluating the need for an update of an existing PSHA consistent with the DOE Order. While the development of the proposed methodology was undertaken as a result of assessments for specific SDC-3 facilities at Idaho National Laboratory (INL), and it is expected that the application at INL will provide a demonstration of the methodology, there is potential for general applicability to other facilities across the DOE complex. As such, both a general methodology and a specific approach intended for INL are described in this document. The general methodology proposed in this white paper is referred to as the “seismic hazard periodic review methodology,” or SHPRM. It presents a graded approach for SDC-3, SDC-4 and SDC-5 facilities that can be applied in any risk-informed regulatory environment by once risk-objectives appropriate for the framework are developed. While the methodology was developed for seismic hazard considerations, it can also be directly applied to other types of natural hazards.

Preliminary Geothermal Resource Assessment of the St. Helens Seismic Zone Using the Results from the Geothermal Play-Fairway Analysis of Washington State Prospects

The northern St. Helens Seismic Zone was one of the areas of interest during Phase 2 of the Washington State Play-Fairway analysis. The area is assessed for geothermal resource potential using the volumetric reserve estimation method developed by the US Geological Survey. Multiple hypotheses for reservoir volume are proposed and analyzed based on interpretation of data gathered during Phase 2 within a geothermal lease. Here, the data utilized in the analysis includes new geologic mapping, ground-based gravity survey, magnetotelluric survey, and passive seismic survey. The hypotheses will be tested, and the resource model will be updated after temperature gradient holes are drilled in the area during Phase 3 at sites selected from Phase 2. The analysis also makes use of the prior geologic knowledge of the area, including the increased seismic and geodetic monitoring following the eruption of Mount St. Helens on May 18th, 1980, existing geologic mapping and models developed from seismic and geodetic data, and past geothermal prospecting efforts by the Washington Division of Geology and Earth Resources. The analysis uses reservoir temperature from geochemistry and a single temperature gradient hole for a low value, and a temperature required for steam flash as a high value. Subsurface temperatures, and heat flows are expected to be better constrained after Phase 3 drilling. The preliminary results suggest power generation potential ranging from 65 MWe to 1.5 GWe within the lease area.
