13. VSRP section
a) errors in the event locations
b) S wave contributions to the cross-correlation functions,
c) variations in microearthquake focal which could result in polarity changes that degrade the stack
d) contributions from converted phases (e.g. S to P).
14. 3D VRSP in Krafla
R1: corresponds to a depth about 2.75km, comparable to the body intersected by IDDP-1
R2: potential reflection from its base if it were 500 m thick.
R3: represent energy arriving from out of the plain of the section (e.g. sideswipe)
R4: could mark the top of the postulated deeper chamber/ another intrusion/brine or steam??
17. Conclusion
• Microearthquakes are valuable untapped source for high
resolution reflection imaging
• Virtual reflection at Krafla observed at depth which
corresponds to the drilled magma
• Really need dense 2D surface recording array
• New seismic technology facilitates relatively low cost
3D/4D reflection imaging with microearthquakes
• Potential applications
– Geothermal systems
– Active volcanoes
– Aftershock sequences
– Active faults (ongoing seismicity)
– Hydraulic fracturing

20. Virtual Reflection Profiling (VRP)
If a subsurface source is located directly below a receiver,
1. autocorreation of the transmission response ≈ reflection response from an
zero offset surface source
2. a number of randomly distributed sources in depth will cancel out the
“artifact”
21. Virtual Seismic Reflection Profiling
• Highest resolution: reflection seismology
• Expensive for active sources
• Effective bandwidth is limited for current passive techniques –
relatively low resolution image
Use reflections from local earthquakes with recent advance in seismic
instrumentation (dense array) – Virtual Seismic Reflection Profiling (VSPR)

coherent energy bands increases as the number of events used in the stack increases
we found relatively little improvement in the signal-to-noise as the number of events increase
beyond 40
24. Results: VSRP
lateral coherent energy is more evident along Array 1 than Array 2 (Figure 11).
We attribute this to the much smaller number of suitably located earthquakes
available to produce Array 1 compared to Array 2.
25. Autocorrelations
Autocorrelating works the best if sources are
located directly beneath every station
The effective spatial sampling is irregular, and
there is little basis for discriminating
reflections from virtual sources at the surface
from coherent artifacts
26. Treat as ambient “noise”
(a) Entire earthquakes recorded
(b) Regional earthquakes with coda wave interferometry with multidimensional deconvolution
(c) Local earthquakes with coda wave interferometry with multidimensional deconvolution

This work involves myself, Larry brown who is my advisor in Cornell, and our fellow collaborators in ISOR Knutur, Krishan, and Hanna.
We’d like to present Magma reflection imaging in Krafla, using microeathquakes sources
To begin with, distribution and movement of magma in the earth has been a critical interest for decades and this includes
the most fundamental question about the structure of magma chamber whether it is a sill or dyke complexes, magma transportation, mixing with host rocks during ascent,
and recognition of precursors to major eruptive events.
Besides geological perspective, we are also interested in energy production for geothermal system (that’s why we are gathered up around here) and last but not least
Sociietal concern highly associated with magma eruption itself.
For seismologist like myself, I am most interested in whether we can image/or detect this marvelous structure in subsurface.
Perhaps the answer to this would be yes we can detect them and here are some well-known examples.
On the left hand side, seismic tomography reveals low velocity anomaly in subsurface and this particular example shows the magma related structures in Yellowstone.
Another technique which people often use when trying to imaging the discontinuity of the earth, they use receiver function with teleseismic earthquakes.
Also there is Magnetotelluirc method which is one of powerful measurement that can detect liquid body in subsurface.
However, these examples that I show here rather gives you a low resolution picture of subsurface. Can we do better than this?
Yes we can by using seismic reflection techniques with active sources on the surface.
Here is a great example of imaging the magma in high resolution and the top figure shows bright spots beneath the Tibetan plateau.
You can even point out where exactly is indicated as YDR…
Figure at the bottom also shows another example using vibroseis truck at the surface and you can see a clear bright spot in death valley.
There is also another however here again and its mainly because of the cost of using active sources itself not to mention other logistical obstacles of using them.
The other end of the spectrum, people have been using natural sources.
On the left, you can see the result from the classic paper by Sandford et al., 1977 and they used the direct measurement of the reflection phase from
Microearhquakes. These reflections are from magma beneath Rio Grand Rfit.
On the right hand side, a similar approach was applied by Japanese crews and they attempt to image bright spots benearth Northeastern Japan arc system.
One of the popular technique that can be used with seismic reflection imaging nowadays is seismic interferometry.
The idea is that if you have a source in subsurface and you have signals collected by the source…
Xcorr direct wave with ghost reflection you get a virtual reflection and this process kinematically redatum the source to the surface.
This type of imaging also involves an artifact which is a product of a direct wave and a downgoing wave (primary reflection from an interface) and it rises
a nonphysical arrivals. However in theory if you have sources that are randomly distributed in space and you have a lot of them you can cancel out this artifact while enhancing
the virtual reflection.
The problem here is that the eathquakes does not happen random in space.
And since the earthquakes are not random in real case, extracting body waves using SI has been spotty at best.
So our approach is based on using SI to redatum the deep sources to the surface however we apply it to the selected sources in subsurface and
we named this as virtual reflection seismic profiling in short VRSP
To test this idea, Krafla is a unique and a obvious to place to do so since we have an experience of drilling into the magma.
In other words, we know the known target at depth.
The data we used is from DRG network in Krafla. Since Knutur gave us a great talk yesterday about this network I am not going to spend too much time on it.
I used two arrays, array 1 and array2 in the figure and you can also see the microearthquakes that are recorded by this network in green circles.
Here are some example of earthquake we collected.
On the left you see a microearthquake its magnitude of 1. P and S waves are clear so as the reflection from 2km depth in between.
On the right you see a regional eq .. You can also..
As I mentioned, we selected these eqs before redatuming them to the surface and the criteria is as follows.
Suppose you have an array of receivers in red with a source that has an offset to the side in green. If this source was an active source on the surface,
the reflection point will be sampling the midpoint between the two as shown in gray dots.
Now if this source is an earthquake you can see the reflection point from the ghost reflection approach slighted closer to the array based on Snell’s law.
So our goal here is to select earthquakes that are close enough to the array so that we can place these blue dots into the CMP bins that are conventionally used in
Reflection imaging technique. And the CMP bins for our data is on the righthand sided.
