Resumen

The deep structure of the Alhama de Murcia Fault (AMF) is characterized by means of the analysis of surface waves identified in shallow high resolution seismic reflection data. Multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) is used to unravel the 2-D S-wave velocity model and image the depth geometry of the fault system. The study area includes segments of the fault located in La Salud area. Two approaches have been used to achieve a well constrained velocity model in the AMF fault zone. Conventional seismic reflection processing work flow has been used to clean the seismic data and increase its S/N ratio. Occam’s approach has been used to invert the digitized surface wave dispersion curves. 1D shear wave velocity-depth profiles were estimated in shot and CDP domains. Relatively well resolved 2D velocity-depth models were obtained by com- posite of the 1D Velocity-depth functions. These composite 2D-velocity models are able to constrain the depth geometry of the fault zone up to 100 m depth. The fault zone is indicated by a relatively broad low velocity anomaly that correlates with the fault’s surface expression.
