Introduction to Seismology and Seismics
This note provides an
understanding about the basics of seismic wave propagation and methods to
determine the structure of the earth and the mechanism of an earthquake. Topics
covered includes: The elastic wave equation, Ray theory, travel time equations,
reflection/transmission coefficients, Refraction seismics, Reflection seismics,
Travel time inversion, Surface waves and normal modes, Earthquake focal
mechanisms.
