Micromechanics of brittle creep in rocks

N Brantut, P Baud, MJ Heap… - Journal of geophysical …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
In the upper crust, the chemical influence of pore water promotes time dependent brittle
deformation through sub‐critical crack growth. Sub‐critical crack growth allows rocks to …

Introduction of uncertainty of Green's function into waveform inversion for seismic source processes

Y Yagi, Y Fukahata - Geophysical Journal International, 2011 - academic.oup.com
In principle, we can never know the true Green's function, which is a major error source in
seismic waveform inversion. So far, many studies have devoted their efforts to obtain a …
