Seismic imaging from the lithosphere to the near surface

In recent years, there has been an increased focus on imaging the near surface and applying seismic methods for mineral exploration. Many of the methods currently being employed for this were first used when studying the Earth on the lithospheric scale. Therefore, we wish to compile a special issue that brings together the current knowledge on seismic imaging on multiple scales, from the upper mantle to the near surface.

In particular, we welcome papers dealing with the following topics:

  • active continental margins (structure and processes);
  • continental lithosphere, including sedimentary basins;
  • intra-continental deformation, collision, and accretion;
  • passive continental margins (structure and processes);
  • mineral exploration seismics, integration with other geological and geophysical data;
  • novel seismic imaging and inversion methods;
  • seismic imaging for Earth hazards, carbon capture and storage, gas storage, geothermal energy, and near-surface application.
  • Review process: all papers of this special issue underwent the regular interactive peer-review process of Solid Earth handled by guest editors designated by the SE executive editors.
