9 Inverse Modeling The problem of inverse modelling consists of estimating source geometry from the observed surface displacements Surface displacements d can be related to the source geometry by a function g of the source model parameters m: d = g(m) + ε d: surface displacements g(m): source model m: model parameters

10 Mogi Model

11 Finite spherical pressure source Magma bodies often are not deep Implicit in the representation of a magma body by a point dilatation is the assumption that the characteristic dimension of the body is very small compared to its depth (McTigue, 1987)

12 Closed pipe (Davis and Bonaccorso, 1999)

13 Tensil dislocation (Okada model, 1985)

14 The Abruzzo earthquake

15 Abruzzo Earthquake Dataset Red points are the GSP benchmarks/stations Green stars are the epicenters of earthquakes The red star is the epicenter of the main shock (Mw = 63) Thanks are due to the ESA, which made quickly available these images just after their acquisition in the framework of the Earth Watching project

16 Abruzzo Earthqhake SISTEM approach results Thanks to the availability of ascending and descending EVISAT data was possible to well constraint the vertical component of the displacements (h ma = 22 cm); the corresponding errors are relatively low ( < ± 1 cm) The W-SE trend is compatible with the surface evidences of the Paganica fault system The East-West component suggests a detral movement of the fault system The corresponding errors are relatively low ( < ± 1 cm) The use of ascending / descending SAR geometry and the low number of GPS points with significant displacements do not allow well constrain the orth-south component; more GPS point are needed

17 Two Steps Inversion Strategy: Particle Swarm Algorithm (PSO) and Gauss-ewton method PSO is a iterative-heuristic, population-based global search algorithm used for optimization of continuous nonlinear functions It models the social behaviour of bird flocking or fish schooling in the attempt to converge to the global optimum PSO works with a population of interacting particles

18 PSO Each particle is defined within the contet of a topological neighbourhood Each particle moves in the parameter space with an auto-adaptive velocity whose value depends on the move eperiences of its own and those of its companions Individual knowledge : its best previous position p i =(p i1, p i2,, p id ) Collective knowledge : the swarm best position p g =(p g1, p g2,, p gd ) v ( v + c r p ) + c r ( p )) i+ 1 = C i 1 1( i i 2 2 g i i+ 1 = i + vi+1

19 The Gauss-ewton method (derivative based)

20 PSO: to quickly find the valleys Gauss-ewton: to reach the bottom of the valleys

21 Depth =5144 m, Strike = 132 gradi, Dip = 67 gradi, Length = 1197 m,width = 13 m, Strike-slip = -4 m, Dip-slip = -9 m, Opening = 2 m, Xs = *1^6, Ys = *1^6

23 Inverse Modeling The problem of inverse modelling consists of estimating source geometry from the observed surface displacements Surface displacements d can be related to the source geometry by a function g of the source model parameters m: d = g(m) + ε Problem of local minimum * * *

24 Local minimum: a bio-inspired approach PSO models the social behaviour of bird flocking searching for food The food never ends!!! Agents remain blocked in a local minima

27 Time-Variant Functional (balck) Initial Functional (red) f(t,)

28 Inverse Modeling The problem of inverse modelling consists of estimating source geometry from the observed surface displacements Surface displacements d can be related to the source geometry by a function g of the source model parameters m: d = g(m) + ε g(m) Function of the source model: FIXED!!! m Model parameters: to be evaluated
