Hundreds of traces of each LFE family at two temporary arrays were stacked with time-frequency domain phase weighted stacking (tf-PWS) method to improve signal-to-noise ratio. We extend our model resolution to lower crustal depth with LFE data. Our result images not only previously identified features but also low velocity zones (LVZs) in the area around the LFEs and the lower crust beneath the southern Rinconada fault. The former LVZ is consistent with high fluid pressure that can account for several aspects of LFE behavior. The latter LVZ is consistent with a high conductivity zone in magnetotelluric studies. A new Vs model was developed with S picks that were obtained with a new auto-picker. At shallow depth, the low Vs areas underlie the strongest shaking areas in the 2004 Parkfield earthquake. A high Vp/Vs zone in the middle crust on the northwest side of the San Andreas Fault was also revealed. We relocate LFE families and analyze the location uncertainties with the Non-Linear-Location and tomoDD. Both methods provide similar results. The attenuation tomography result will be introduced too. 报告人简介: Education: University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) Ph D., Sept. 2006 – Jul. 2012 Major: Geophysics University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) Bachelor of Science, Sept. 2002 – Jul. 2006 Major: Geophysics Minor: Finance Experience: Nov. 2013 -- Postdoctoral Associate Department of Geoscience, University of Wisconsin-Madison Feb. 2012 -- Postdoctoral CAS Key Lab of Computational Geodynamics, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences Sept.2006 – Jan. 2012 Graduate student School of Earth and Space Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China Sept. 2008 – Sept. 2009 Visiting student Earth Resource Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sept. 2002 – Jul. 2006 Undergraduate student School of Earth and Space Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China Professional Societies: American Geophysical Union, Student member (2008- ) Research Fields: Seismic structure Distributed acoustic sensing Source parameters of earthquake Seismic ambient noise source Publications: 2015 Zeng, X., C.
