Biography
Senad Subasic is a PhD researcher in the iCRAG geophysics research spoke. Senad graduated with an MSc in Geophysics from University of Zagreb, Croatia. He spent a year working at the Croatian Seismological Survey, before joining iCRAG at the end of 2016, under the supervision of Prof. Chris Bean. His research involves applying passive seismic analysis (receiver functions), combined with electromagnetic and gravity data in a shallow crustal environment.
As part of my research, I will use recordings of distant earthquakes, alongside a few other geophysical methods in order to try and get the best possible combined images of the shallow structure around a mine site. This approach is much less expensive than what is usually done in these situations, and we want to test and evaluate its limits and potential.
Project title: Multidisciplinary shallow crustal imagery at Boliden-Tara mine
Technical Description
The objectives of the project are to test the performance of joint inversion of multi-disciplinary geophysical data sets in the vicinity of a mine, and to use that joint inversion methodology to image unknown structures at increasing distances from the mine. The idea is to constrain the images over areas with good borehole and/or seismic coverage, and then to move away from these areas in 3D, using passive methods. We will be using receiver function analysis, alongside EM and gravity data sets.
