Reflection seismic methods are becoming popular in mineral exploration, because they allow high-resolution delineation of the exploration targets, even at great depths. Seismic interferometry can be used to retrieve reflections from passive seismic data, removing the need for active seismic sources and, therefore, reducing the cost and environmental impact of exploration. The retrieval of reflections can be challenging, since passive seismic records are typically dominated by surface waves. Therefore, illumination diagnosis, a method which allows the isolation of the portions of the passive data where body-wave signals are stronger, can be a valuable step that improves the quality of the reflections retrieved from seismic interferometry and reduces the overall computational cost of the processing stage. Here, we validate the performance of the method to effectively isolate the portions of the passive data dominated by body waves and apply it on an ambient-noise seismic dataset acquired in the Siilinjärvi mining site in Finland.

Abstract
Reflection seismic methods are becoming popular in mineral exploration, because they allow high-resolution delineation of the exploration targets, even at great depths. Seismic interferometry can be used to retrieve reflections from passive seismic data, removing the need for active seismic sources and, therefore, reducing the cost and environmental impact of exploration. The retrieval of reflections can be challenging, since passive seismic records are typically dominated by surface waves. Therefore, illumination diagnosis, a method which allows the isolation of the portions of the passive data where body-wave signals are stronger, can be a valuable step that improves the quality of the reflections retrieved from seismic interferometry and reduces the overall computational cost of the processing stage. Here, we validate the performance of the method to effectively isolate the portions of the passive data dominated by body waves and apply it on an ambient-noise seismic dataset acquired in the Siilinjärvi mining site in Finland.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
