Item Description:Includes bibliographical references and index
Elasticity and seismic waves -- Body waves and ray theory -- Surface waves and free oscillations -- Seismometry -- Seismogram interpretation -- Determination of earth structure -- Seismic sources -- Earthquake kinematics and dynamics -- Seismic waveform modeling -- Seismotectonics
Intended as an introduction to the field, Modern Global Seismology is a complete, self-contained primer on seismology. It features extensive coverage of all related aspects, from observational data through prediction, emphasizing the fundamental theories and physics governing seismic waves--both natural and anthropogenic. Based on thoroughly class-tested material, the text provides a unique perspective on the earths large-scale internal structure and dynamic processes, particularly earthquake sources, and on the application of theory to the dynamic processes of the earths upper skin.
