Resonographic Seismic Topography: A New Framework for Subsurface Mapping via Interference Modulation and Earth Harmonics
Abstract We propose a novel approach to subsurface geophysical analysis through the synthesis of seismic interference patterns, traveling wave mechanics, and Earth’s natural resonance (Schumann frequencies). This technique—termed Resonographic Seismic Topography (RST)—allows for differential identification of subterranean structures at a resolution exceeding current methods. Through curvature analysis of interference-modulated wavefields, the method reconstructs topographic features as a function of waveform coherence, phase distortion, and natural harmonic resonance. 1. Introduction Subsurface imaging is a cornerstone of geoscience, underpinning fields ranging from earthquake hazard mitigation and resource exploration to planetary geology and archaeological discovery. Traditional seismic methods rely heavily on ray tracing, reflection time measurements, and post-processed tomography—techniques that, while effective, often lack the resolution and sensitivity to identify fine-gra...
