Method evidence record

Ambient Noise Tomography

Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) is a seismic imaging method that extracts surface wave information from long-term records of seismic background noise, enabling high-resolution imaging of crustal and upper mantle structure. Developed by Shapiro, Campillo, and colleagues in 2005, ANT has revolutionized seismic imaging by enabling detailed crustal velocity maps at minimal cost without requiring earthquakes or active sources.
