Application summary: The study describes the use of an integrated approach (geophysical, geochemical, and structural) to characterize non-volcanic CO2 upwelling systems. Within the geophysical workflow, smartTomo software was used to process seismic refraction tomography data.
Technical contribution of smartTomo: The software enabled the reconstruction of high-resolution compression wave velocity (Vp) models. The analysis of tomographic profiles was used to identify the main fault zones and structural discontinuities that act as conduits for fluid migration to the surface.
