Šachl, Libor ; Klimeš, Luděk (advisor) ; Bulant, Petr (referee)
Title: Ray-based Born approximation Author: Libor Šachl Department: Department of Geophysics Supervisor: RNDr. Luděk Klimeš, DrSc. Supervisor's e-mail address: klimes@seis.karlov.mff.cuni.cz Abstract: One of the aims of this thesis was coding of program grdborn.for for computing the 2D and 3D ray-based Born approximation of the first order in an inhomoge- nous isotropic medium without attenuation. The computation of 3D amplitudes using the 2D Born approximation is based on the correction term, which is de- rived. The program is further used in computing the Born approximation in various models. We test its performance in three simple models. We study the effect of the discretization, the spurious waves introduced by the finite size of the grid etc. In the next step, we focus on the computations in more compli- cated models. We compute the Born seismograms in 2D heterogenous models. We study the diffracted waves, the effects of caustics etc. Keywords: Born approximation, ray theory, velocity model, perturbation 1

Influence of velocity model uncertainty in earthquake source inversions

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...

GPR data interpretation with use of a combined geoelectrical survey
Široký, Jakub ; Tábořík, Petr (advisor) ; Valenta, Jan (referee)
GPR data interpretation is often difficult due to complex geological environments, reflections ambiguity and time-depth conversion uncertainty. Thanks to the geophysical fields interoperability it is possible to compare results of related survey methods. Radargrams from three model sites were processed and interpreted in an usual way to uniformly amplify all recorded reflections. Results were compared with ERT and EM (DEMP) data within integrated interpretation. GPR data interpretation was extended and new geological and geomorphological interpretations were uncovered. The GPR processing sequence was modified and simplified following outcomes from the integrated interpretation to ease different methods results comparison. Adapting a velocity model to precise time- depth conversion hasn't showed improvements. Key words: ground penetrating radar, electrical resistivity tomography, dipole electromagnetic profiling, integrated interpretation, integrated inversion, GPR processing optimization, sedimentary environment, velocity model
