Distribution of noise sources recorded by the WEBNET network and the uppermost S-wave velocity model in the West Bohemia seismoactive region based on seismic interferometry.
Mityska, Martin ; Růžek, Bohuslav (advisor) ; Málek, Jiří (referee)
The master's thesis consists of two parts. The first part contains the azimuth -- slowness analysis for period 3s<=T<=6s, which was conducted by the FK analysis for 10 stations of the WEBNET network. In the second part there is the surface wave group velocity measurement for every station pair of 10 WEBNET stations. The interstation group velocity was obtained by the cross--correlation of microseismic noise records. Local group velocities are connected with the instantaneous period data. The Love wave group velocities are visualised by the 2D tomography calculation. The thesis also contains the additional Love waves dispersion analysis for just one station pair.

Teleseismic Tomography of the Upper Mantle beneath the Bohemian Massif
Karousová, Hana ; Plomerová, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Růžek, Bohuslav (referee) ; Zahradník, Jiří (referee)
Passive seismic experiments, MOSAIC, BOHEMA I-III, EgerRift, or, PASSEQ, carried out in the region of the Bohemian Massif (BM), allowed a detailed study of velocity structure of the upper mantle. We present results of tomography studies of the upper mantle beneath the north-eastern and southern parts of the BM based on the data from the BOHEMA II and BOHEMA III experiments (2004-2006). Despite the fact that regions with the highest resolution of velocity perturbations differ in the models, tomography images are similar in overlapping parts. Models of the upper mantle show mostly low- velocity perturbations relatively to radially symmetric velocity model of the Earth beneath the BM. Limited high-velocity heterogeneity beneath the Moldanubian unit, extended in the NE-SW direction, reflects thickening of the lithosphere due to a collision of the BM with the Brunovistulian micro-plate during the Variscan orogeny. The tomography based on the data from the BOHEMA III experiment revealed significant high-velocity heterogeneity in the southern margin of the model with a subduction of the lithosphere beneath the Eastern Alps. Tomographic tests showed that effects of uncorrected velocity heterogeneities within the crust can appear as deep as 100 km and, therefore, they could lead to erroneous interpretation of...
Seismic noise analysis at selected stations of the WEBNET network
Bachura, Martin ; Fischer, Tomáš (advisor) ; Růžek, Bohuslav (referee)
Seismic signal is affected by noise of non-geological origin. The main source of seismic noise is in human activities. Seismic noise of human origin occurs in the frequency range from one to the first tens of Hz. The noise intensity limits the lower level of the earthquake size that can be recorded by a seismic network. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the seismic noise on selected stations of the West Bohemian seismic network WEBNET which operates in the area since the early nineties. The earthquakes in West Bohemia/Vogtland are manifested in the form of long-lasting earthquake swarms with the magnitudes ranging up to ML = 3.8. The way how the seismic noise influences the seismic stations and their capability of recording small earthquakes can be classified by a statistical and time-frequency analysis. We applied this method to the selected stations NKC, KRC and SKC. The results show that the effect of noise does not deteriorate the seinsitivity of the three stations for recording small earthquakes. Despite of quite good results, some differences occur among the three stations, which are most probably caused by the distance of the stations to the populated areas. The smallest noise influence is observed at the stations located far from settlement (NKC and KRC) compared to the station located in a small...
Seismic Site Effects (Data Analysis and Modelling)
Caserta, Arrigo ; Zahradník, Jiří (advisor) ; Růžek, Bohuslav (referee) ; Burjánek, Jan (referee)
A comprehensive study of the soil shaking under the seismic wave-field ex- citation is presented. It includes theoretical, geological, geotechnical, data analysis and numerical simulations aspects. The aim is to quantify the main parameters allowing the estimate of the soil shaking in urban areas for better mitigating seismic risk due to future earthquakes. The city of Rome has been chosen as a case study because of its high density of popula- tion and large concentration of historical monuments with high earthquake vulnerability. This study improves significantly the knowledge concerning the detailed near-surface geology of the chosen study area of Rome, ful- fills the absence both of knowledge concerning its geotechnical properties and earthquake data recordings in the city. Among others, it allows for a better explanation of the spatial damage pattern observed in the city due to earthquakes in the past. The main innovations include the construction and long-term operation a seismic array in the city, analysis of the natural seismic noise, and instrumental recordings of the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake sequence. The 3D array (including a borehole sensor at 70-m depth) is the first one in Italy planned, realized and operated within an urban area, and the first one that recorded a significant earthquake in...

SLICE Seismic lithospheric investigation of Central Europe
Akademie věd ČR, Geofyzikální ústav, Praha ; Uličný, David ; Růžek, Bohuslav ; Hubatka, František ; Špaček, Petr ; Švancara, Jan ; Brož, Milan ; Novotný, Miloslav ; Karousová, Olina ; Hrubcová, Pavla ; Špičák, Aleš ; Novotný, Miroslav
Projekt SLICE má za úkol zkoumat hlubinnou stavbu středoevropské oblasti a jeho cílem je přispět k výzkumu stavby zemské kůry a svrchního pláště v oblasti Českého masivu a jeho styku se sousedními tektonickými jednotkami. Pro studium hlubinné stavby je využívána seismická refrakční metoda, kdy se registrují seismické vlny generované uměle vyvolanými odpaly a posléze je zjišťována rychlost šíření seismických vln v různých hloubkách. Tyto údaje pak zprostředkovaně poskytnou informace o strukturních vlastnostech měřeného prostředí až do oblasti svrchního pláště. Je popsáno propojení refrakčních experimentů ALP 2002 a SUDETES 2003 na našem území.
Robust solver of a system of nonlinear equations
Růžek, Bohuslav ; Kolář, Petr ; Kvasnička, M.
ANNIT (Artificial Neural Network Inversion Tool) is solver of a set of non- linear equations. It is implemented in MATLAB and Scilab. ANNIT is based on numerical approximation of mapping the right hand sides residuals of the original set of equations to searched parameters. A population of individuals is used for building such approximation. The shape, location and size of this population is adaptively changed during the inversion depending on the convergence of the solved problem. ANNIT has been thoroughly tested by using a set of standard problems and also by using selected geophysical problems (localization of the earthquake hypocenter, magnetotelluric inversion, inversion of group velocities of surface waves etc.).

Kolář, Petr ; Růžek, Bohuslav ; Adamová, Petra
Modeling of seismic source in approximation of second order seismic moment tensor appeared to be a good testing problem for developed nonlinear inverse algorithm ANNIT. In the article we briefly described the problem and present results of inversion of a synthetic data.
Seismic noise: unfortunate companion of seismic measurements but also a scout from the Earth's depths
Růžek, Bohuslav ; Zedník, Jan
Seismic records are contamined by noise. In classical approach elastic waves generated by an earthquake or a quary blast are considered as a deterministic signal and seismic noise as a random signal. Commonly noise is removed or at least reduced by filtering. In recent years also an opposite approach appeared. Propagation of noise followed the same principles as for the deterministic signals - it is medium dependent.
