New Data on the Deep Structure of the Jau-tepe Mud Volcano
Results of areal seismic investigations of the deep structure of the largest in the Kerch Peninsula mud volcano Jau-Tepe are presented. An understanding of the subvertical fluid-conducting structures of the volcano, which ensure the delivery of material to the day surface during periods of activation, was obtained. A new approach, based on numerical simulation of a vertically layered medium, is proposed for the interpretation microseismic noise relative amplitudes measurements. Results of the work are compared with known geological and geophysical data on the region of study.
