Title

Probabilistic models of earthquake location and velocity structure beneath New Ollerton, UK

Abstract

The models are probabilistic inferences of earth structure and earthquake location based around travel times of P and S waves recorded at seismic stations above New Ollerton, Nottinghamshire, UK. For each point in the subsurface, we present many different values of the P- and S-wave velocity which are compatible with the data. Likewise, we present many event locations for each earthquake included in the dataset. These different models represent the posterior probability distribution respectively for the subsurface velocity and earthquake locations.

The suite of models are created by sampling the posterior probability distribution using a Markov chain Monte Carlo approach. The methods are described in the open-access paper below: Roy, C., Nowacki, A., Zhang, X., Curtis, A., Baptie, B., 2021.
