Source location of volcanic earthquakes and subsurface characterization using fiber-optic cable and distributed acoustic sensing system

Abstract We present one of the first studies on source location determination for volcanic earthquakes and characterization of volcanic subsurfaces using data from a distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) system. Using the arrival time difference estimated from well-correlated waveforms and a dense spat...
