An overview of seismic attenuation in the northern Appalachians seismic zone, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia / A.M. Farahbod and J.F. Cassidy.: M183-2/8875E-PDF

"In this study, we examine seismic attenuation characteristics of the northern Appalachians seismic zone based upon seismic data collected by the Canadian National Seismic Network (CNSN) from 1983 to 2021. The single scattering approximation using S-Wave coda is applied; the attenuation and frequency dependency for different paths and the correlation of the results with the geotectonic of the region will be presented. This article is one in a series of articles that examines coda wave attenuation across Canada in a wide range of tectonic environments"--Introduction, page 2.
