该项目创建了一个实时环境噪声地震成像系统，以研究和监测地下可持续性和地质结构的潜在危害。了解和解决地下可持续性对该地区乃至整个地球仪的自然、社会和经济问题具有重要影响。该系统是由一个自我可持续的传感器网络的地震检波器，可以自主地执行网络计算的三维浅层地球结构图像的基础上，环境噪声单独。该项目将利用现有的地震阵列数据集研究长滩、加州和黄石公园的地下可持续性，并相应地设计成像系统。在该项目的后期阶段，黄石公园原型系统的实地演示预计将对一些间歇泉的地下成像。所开发的技术在监测和了解地下石油、矿产和地热资源的动态以及石油勘探、采矿、热液喷发和火山喷发中伴随的危害方面具有进一步的效用。浅层地球结构的实时成像对于评估地质结构的可持续性和潜在危害至关重要。在具有挑战性的环境中部署大型无线传感器阵列的能力对于任何实时危险监测和预警系统都具有重要意义。所采取的新方法是通用的，并且可以作为用于高度动态和复杂环境（包括自然和人造结构）的实时成像的新的现场网络范例来实现。这项研究的结果将与黄石国家公园管理层、护林员和工作人员分享。实时地下图像可用于游客教育中心，官方讲义，护林员带领的实地考察，以及公共安全管理。该项目的教育活动包括加强三所合作大学的本科生和研究生课程和研究计划，该项目为它们之间的跨学科合作交流提供了许多机会。

This project creates a real-time Ambient Noise Seismic Imaging system, to study and monitor the subsurface sustainability and potential hazards of geological structures. Understanding and addressing the subsurface sustainability has significant impact on the natural, social, and economic issues of the region and across the globe. The system is comprised of a self-sustainable sensor network of geophones that can autonomously perform in-network computing of the 3D shallow earth structure images based on ambient noise alone. The project will study the subsurface sustainability of Long Beach, California and Yellowstone using their existing seismic array datasets and design the imaging system accordingly. In the late stages of the project, a field demonstration of the prototype system in Yellowstone expects to image the subsurface of some geysers. The techniques developed find further utility in monitoring and understanding the dynamics of subsurface oil, mine and geothermal resources, alongside concomitant hazards in oil exploration, mining, hydrothermal eruption, and volcanic eruption). Real-time imaging of shallow earth structures is essential to assess the sustainability and potential hazards of geological structures. The ability to deploy large wireless sensor arrays in challenging environments is significant for any real-time hazard monitoring and early warning system. The new approach taken is general, and can be implemented as a new field network paradigm for real-time imaging of highly dynamic and complex environments, including both natural and man-made structures. Results from this research will be shared with Yellowstone National Park management (NPS), rangers, and staff. The real-time subsurface images can be used in visitor education centers, official handouts, ranger led field trips, and for public safety management. The educational activities of this project include enhancing undergraduate and graduate curricula and research programs at the three collaborative universities, and the project provides many opportunities for a collaborative cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas among them.
