Seeing deeper into Earth’s critical zone

New Virginia Tech research explores the role of active-source seismic in environmental seismology

Virginia Tech has been using STRYDE’s lightweight autonomous seismic nodes to increase the density and scale of its near-surface seismic surveys.

Virginia Tech’s new paper, “Active-Source Environmental Seismology,” explores how STRYDE seismic nodes and full-waveform inversion are enabling higher-resolution imaging of the critical zone.

The research highlights advances in 3D/3C acquisition, time-lapse seismic, and detailed Vp and Vs imaging — helping researchers better understand not just where environmental change is happening, but where it is occurring within the subsurface.
