Seismic wave propagation. Theory and application of synthetic seismograms.
Our understanding of the detailed nature of seismic sources and earth’s interior
structure has increased with our increased ability to interpret seismograms. One of the
best ways to demonstrate understanding of a seismogram is to further develop the
matrix method of Thompson and Haskell where the various processes affecting the
source excitation and wave-propagation are accounted for and modeled. Dr.
Malytskyy develops a version of matrix method for calculation of synthetic
seismograms on the free surface of the layered isotropic medium. The point source is
located inside one of the layers and is represented as seismic moment tensor. He
considers also an extended source in time area. In such a way, he accounts for a very
important parameter of source – the Source Time Function (STF). At present,
Dr.Malytskyy develops a version of matrix method for anisotropic media.
Physics of earthquake source. Inverse theory.
Inverse theory is a field of mathematics that aims to solve problems in which we wish
to use data of observations to constrain the model when we only know how to predict
data for the model. The solution of the forward problem consisting in calculation of
synthetic seismograms when all the parameters of the medium and source are known
Dr.Malytskyy further uses for solving the inverse problem. He has developed a
method for determining the source parameters (tensor of seismic moment and STF)
from the records of direct P- and S- waves at several locations.
Earthquake seismology and deformation.
Carpathian region extending over the Folded Carpathians, foremountain and
intermountain troughs and the adjacent parts of the platform, i.e., the parts of
Transcarpathian, Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv regions of Ukraine, is known
as tectonically active zone. In 1965 Lviv geophysicists organized the Carpathian
Integrated Geodynamic Test Site in the Transcarpathian region to study connections
between geophysical fields, structure and dynamics of lithosphere and local seismicity.
On the site the network of 6 permanent geophysical stations (PGS) (“Mukachiv”,
“Berehove”, “Trosnyk”, “Nyzhnye Selyshche”, “Bushtyno”, and “Brid”) was set up.
Dr.Malytskyy develops and organizes the works on deformation measurements in rock
by a high-precise laser extensometer at the geophysical stations of “Berehove” and
“Trosnyk”. A correlation between the geological structure, seasonal variations of
temperature, influence of tidal potential and seismic conditions in the region was
revealed. Based on data of extension-metering, seismic and temperature monitoring
new perspective ways for detecting the accumulation and redistribution of elastic
deformations are developed. Probable precursors of local earthquakes have been
identified.
