Title: Influence of velocity model uncertainty in earthquake source inversions Author: Miroslav Halló Department: Department of Geophysics Supervisor: doc. RNDr. František Gallovič, Ph.D., Department of Geophysics Abstract: Earthquake ground motions originate from rupture processes on faults in Earth. Constraints on earthquake source models are important for better un- derstanding of earthquake physics and for assessment of seismic hazard. The source models are inferred from observed waveforms by inverse modeling, which is subject to uncertainty. For large tectonic earthquakes the major source of un- certainty is an imprecise knowledge of crustal velocity model. The research topic of this Thesis is the influence of the velocity model uncertainty on the inferred source models. We perform Monte-Carlo simulations of Green's functions (GFs) in randomly perturbed velocity models to reveal the effects of the imprecise veloc- ity model on the synthetic waveforms. Based on the knowledge gained, we derive closed-form formulas for approximate covariance functions to obtain fast and effective characterization of the GFs' uncertainty. We demonstrate that approxi- mate covariances capture correctly the GF variability as obtained by the Monte- Carlo simulations. The proposed approximate covariance functions are...
