TOPO-IBERIA: Integrated studies of topography and 4-D evolution Topo-Iberia is a 5-year project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science (MEC) under the Consolider-Ingenio 2010 Program of Excellence, with additional support by the CSIC. Total budget: 5.4 M€. Project started a the end of 2006.

Total budget: 5.4 M€. Project started a the end of 2006. Linking superficial and deep processes (lithosphere and mantle level), as well as environmental studies such as global change (interactions between tectonics, erosion- sedimentation and climate), natural resources and hazards. Linking superficial and deep processes (lithosphere and mantle level), as well as environmental studies such as global change (interactions between tectonics, erosion- sedimentation and climate), natural resources and hazards.

Software for data acquisition and handling Acquisition: Nanometrics proprietary software (Apollo) to extract data from station and convert to miniSEED. Data storage and availability: USGS’s CWB (Common Waveform Buffer). Allows for real-time acquisition (not used) and remote access to waveform data. Metadata: USGS’s INV (Inventory) software. Allows book-keeping of instrumentation, and generates dataless SEED files for entire network and all epochs. Data quality: USGS’s PQLX software for noise analysis (McNamara and Buland, 2004). Phase picking, relocation, … : SEISAN (Havskov and Ottemöller)

PQLX: interactive software for noise and quality control analysis
13
Use of PQLX to analyze improvements in station installations
14
PSD signature of seismic and noise sources McNamara and Buland (2004)
15
Surface-wave tomography using cross-correlations of seismic ambient noise taken from R.L. Weaver (2005)
16
Comparison of results using independent data
17
Monitoring network performance with noise Sens-Schönfelder (2008)
18
Use of ambient noise to forecast volcanic eruptions Brenguier et al. (2008)
