Current Research within Earth Physics

---

 

In early October 2006, an array of 40 3-component short period seismometers was deployed in southeast Tasmania as part of the SETA experiment. The array will be in place for a period of approximately 8 months to record large distant earthquakes. This project is in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Tasmania, who will carry out additional active source experiments that can be recorded by the SETA array. Tomographic analysis has been carried out using arrival time information from 90 distant earthquakes, and the resultant images exhibit significant lateral variations at 50-100 km depth between northern and southern Victoria.
