Thesis title: The coherency of seismic surface waves before, during and after the 2011 Tohoku tsunami

Research interests: Geophysics, Seismology, Hydrogeology, Sedimentology

We will ivestigate the coherency of surface waves obtained from cross-correlations before, during, and after the arrival of the Tsunami at a few coastlines of interest. In order to investigate the amplitude and coherency of these seismic waves we will use cross-correlation and variational techniques to determine the effect of the tsunami on the retrieval of surface waves from interferometry.
