Characterizing the deformation of the eastern Adriatic margin by improving the resolution of 3D local tomography and earthquake moment tensors using Wavefield Gradient Observation

• Applicants: Dr. Bernd Schurr; Dr. Joachim Wassermann
• Subject Area: Geophysics
• Term: since 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 498815186

In this project we aim at bringing gradient-related ground motion observations into the realm of regional to local seismicity analysis as well as using them for correcting the crustal effects. Our working hypothesis is that facilitating 6DOF and wavefield gradient measurement will help to correct for crustal influences in the deeper tomographic picture of lithosphere and mantle and help to decipher the complicated seismicity pattern in the Dinarides and Northern Hellenides. This study as well as the other studies in the bundle will depend on continuous broadband array data, which will be constantly checked regarding quality and gapless transmission by the data center.
