1 Part II: The new Malargüe seismic array IS@AO Workshop, Cambridge, April 19 th 2011 Elmer Ruigrok, Deyan Draganov and Kees Wapenaar

2 MalaRRgue MalaRRgue: A large seismic array in the Malargüe department Partial collocation with Pierre Auger Observatory 2012: temporary array of 80 stations >=2013: ‘permanent’ array Monitoring and imaging the subsurface Application of recently developed techniques International team of geophysicists ICES

3 Why a seismic array in Malargüe? Outline How will we achieve high-resolution subsurface images?

4 Why a seismic array in Malargüe? How will we achieve high-resolution subsurface images?

5 The missing seismic array … Swell Local waves Oceanic -> seismic waves Beamforming seismic waves -> sea state Ocean waves Seismic arrays (Koper et al., 2010) MalaRRgue, aim 1: monitoring the southern oceans

6 Peteroa volcano MalaRRgue, aim 2: imaging and monitoring the Peteroa volcano Volcano activity, September 2010

7 Tectonic setting

8 Volcanism features

9 Imaging challenges still to be addressed (Gilbert et al., 2006) Malargüe Known –Moho depth Our imaging targets –Moho topography –Basin topography –Nazca slab depth –Magma intrusions –Major faults MalaRRgue, aim 3: detailed imaging of the lithosphere

10 Local seismicity MalaRRgue, aim 4: localizing local seismic activity Malargüe Regional seismicity

11 Preliminary array design

12 Positioning with Pierre Auger stations Seismic station PA particle detector

13 Why a seismic array in Malargüe? How will we achieve high-resolution subsurface images?

14 A method using teleseismic arrivals Illumination for passive seismology I

15 Crust and upper mantle Illumination for passive seismology II A method using teleseismic arrivals

16 Crust and upper mantle Conventional method: receiver function

17 Receiver function image Malargüe

18 Crust and upper mantle ~3km New method: seismic interferometry, input

19 Example response selection Time-window and separate pre-processing P and reverberations PP and reverberations

20 Further processing Subsurface reflectivity image (example) New method: seismic interferometry, output

21 A dense sensor network Malargüe T-array –2 orthogonal linear subarrays –3 km inline spacing –42 stations –‘Basin’ setting

22 Illumination by earthquakes and storms I: Inline earthquakes II: Inline oceanic storms (Landes et al., 2010)

23 High-resolution subsurface imaging 1.Reflection imaging instead of conversion imaging 2.Dense sensor network 3.Using not only earthquake responses, but also storm-induced waves

24 Summary Large seismic array (80 stations) planned in the Malargüe department 1.Imaging subsurface 2.Monitoring the sea state in the SH 3.Monitoring volcanic activity 4.Monitoring local seismicity

25 PAO synergies Facility and expertise exchange Coupling atmospheric gravity waves with seismic waves? Coupling lightening to seismic waves?
