Abstract

We report the observation of weak localization of seismic waves in a natural environment. It emerges as a doubling of the seismic energy around the source within a spot of width a wavelength, that is several tens of meters in our case. The characteristic time for its onset is the scattering mean free time, that quantifies the internal heterogeneity.
