New approach offers high-resolution seismic monitoring of the shallow subsurface

High-resolution seismic monitoring of the shallow subsurface has remained challenging to achieve in practice. Researchers have now developed a spatially windowed surface-wave analysis method using data from a Canadian carbon dioxide-storage site. Using this approach permits accurate and high-resolution monitoring with a single ACROSS unit, and offers the potential to identify natural seismic phenomena and fluid leakages from storage sites.
