Ambient noise differential adjoint tomography reveals fluid-bearing rocks near active faults in Los Angeles

Abstract Water scarcity is a pressing issue in California. We develop ambient noise differential adjoint tomography that improves the sensitivity to fluid-bearing rocks by canceling bias caused by noise sources. Here we image the shallow S-wave velocity structure using this method beneath a linear s...
