Abstract:Standard Back-Projections (BPs) use P phase recordings at large aperture
arrays within teleseismic distances (30°-90°) to image earthquake
sources. However, the majority of sizable arrays are in the northern
hemisphere, leaving many southern hemisphere earthquakes beyond the
teleseismic range. We extend the BP method by utilizing seismic waves
traveling through the Earth’s core, expanding our capability to image
earthquakes worldwide. Our core phase BPs incorporate PKIKP (150°-180°)
and PKP (145°-175°) phases.… Show more
