This study investigates the detectability and imaging, using seismic methods, of modifications in elastic properties caused by cyclic injection and production of geothermal fluid in high-temperature aquifer thermal energy storage (HT-ATES) systems. In such systems, the induced variations in elastic properties are expected to be very small, requiring high-sensitivity methods for reliable detection. The work is conceived as a feasibility study in a setting where field data are not yet available. Synthetic modelling is used to evaluate the effectiveness and sensitivity of Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) to reservoir variations. FWI is selected for its ability to exploit the full recorded wavefield, which is critical for resolving subtle elastic changes in thin, low-contrast reservoirs. The DeepStor HT-ATES research project in Karlsruhe, Germany, where layers thinner than 10 m at 1.3 km depth are targeted, serves as a case study. Two elastic models were developed: one unperturbed and one incorporating anomalies expected after five years of cyclic operations. Due to the thickness and depth of the targets, surface seismic methods were excluded in favour of cross-well configurations using Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS). Active sources are adopted to ensure controlled and repeatable illumination required for time-lapse monitoring. Results indicate that geometries with receivers intersecting the reservoirs significantly improve imaging and parameter estimation.

While previous studies have characterized resonant behavior using observations or deterministic simulations, the extent to which such frequency-dependent responses can be systematically related to offshore tsunami characteristics remains unclear. In this study, we investigate coastal tsunami response in Suruga Bay, Japan, using a large ensemble of numerical simulations based on stochastic earthquake source models for the Nankai Trough. For each scenario, we analyze the spectral characteristics of simulated wavefields at offshore and coastal locations and estimate frequency-dependent response functions associated with bathymetric features. These analyses reveal consistent amplification patterns at specific period ranges that are associated with local topography. Building on this, we examine statistical relationships between offshore spectral characteristics and the amplitude of later-arriving coastal waves. The results indicate that certain frequency bands show moderate but consistent correlations with the time-averaged amplitude of post-arrival oscillations, suggesting that offshore spectral information may provide useful indicators of prolonged coastal response under similar source conditions. The objective of this study is not to fully resolve the physical coherence of tsunami sources or nonlinear resonance processes, but rather to provide a statistical framework for linking offshore wave characteristics with site-specific coastal responses. The proposed approach offers a complementary perspective for interpreting tsunami-induced oscillations and may contribute to improving the assessment of prolonged tsunami effects in coastal regions with complex bathymetry.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":21078,"journal":{"name":"pure and applied geophysics","volume":"183 8","pages":"3869 - 3891"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00024-026-04060-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148752264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, the modified Mann–Kendall test (MMK) for temperature trends, coefficient of variation (CV) for rainfall variability, and the standardized precipitation index (SPI) for spatiotemporal drought assessment were applied. Furthermore, a key informant interview (KII) and field observation were employed to collect qualitative data. The study revealed a general upward trend in CHIRTS T<sub>min</sub> and T<sub>max</sub> during the spring season (MAM) across all sites (stations), although statistical significance varied among sites. Regardless of elevation differences, more than 85% of the upward trends in T<sub>max</sub> and T<sub>min</sub> in April and May were statistically significant (α < 0.05), while only T<sub>min</sub> underwent significant trends in March across the sites.

Moreover, the study revealed high CVs for dekadal rainfall (31–96%) and recurrent drought events, with more frequent droughts in March and more severe ones in April. The implications of the pronounced fluctuations in spring rainfall and rising temperatures on coffee production cannot be overlooked. Consequently, as we verified through field observations and key informant interviews, producers in the lower altitudinal belts have begun replacing coffee with other crops. In contrast, coffee cover has recently expanded into new, higher-elevation areas in response to promising productivity. Therefore, given the rising temperatures and recurrent meteorological droughts observed during the study period, as well as the ongoing replacement of coffee with other crops, climate adaptation efforts should focus on developing stress-tolerant coffee varieties and expanding shade tree cover to prevent the potential retreat of coffee habitats at lower altitudes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":21078,"journal":{"name":"pure and applied geophysics","volume":"183 9","pages":"4833 - 4855"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148986832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many existing approaches rely on global functional representations or stationarity assumptions, which can compromise the preservation and identification of physically meaningful local features. In this study, we introduce EigenSig, an eigenspace-based framework that reformulates gap filling as a coordinate-recovery problem in a reduced eigenspace. The method partitions a time series into epochs, embeds them in a vector space, and constructs an eigenspace using principal component analysis, where dominant eigenvectors capture within-epoch variability and eigenspace coordinates represent large-scale coherence across epochs. Missing epochs are addressed by estimating and analyzing these coordinates from neighboring epochs and projecting them back into the original data space. Unlike least-squares harmonic estimation (LSHE), which uses global Fourier series representation, EigenSig uses a fully data-driven orthogonal basis as the base of eigenspace and designed to preserve signal shape without stationary assumption. We also incorporate the widely used LSHE method to estimate coordinates of unknown epochs in eigenspace to enhance its robustness and uncertainty quantification. EigenSig is further extended for anomaly separation using a leave-one-out strategy, in which each epoch is reconstructed from all remaining data in eigenspace, and anomalies are quantified as the residual between the observed and reconstructed epochs. Applications to synthetic data gaps and geomagnetic time series demonstrate that EigenSig effectively reconstructs data gaps, separates localized anomalies while maintaining global structure, and has calculation efficiency, highlighting its methodological novelty and practical relevance for geophysical signal analysis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":21078,"journal":{"name":"pure and applied geophysics","volume":"183 8","pages":"3977 - 4001"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00024-026-04053-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148752266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
