Exploring seismic attenuation changes at Long-Valley Caldera, California
Michael Manga, Professor
Earth and Planetary Science
Closed. This professor is continuing with Fall 2024 apprentices on this project; no new apprentices needed for Spring 2025.
Long-Valley caldera is an active magmatic system in California. The goal of this project is to explore seismic attenuation changes with ambient noise seismic interferometry to characterize subsurface hydrothermal fluid/magma movement and surface snow loading deformation process. This project will use over 20-years of seismic data to measure seismic attenuation and will systematically evaluate its changes at space and time.
