Modern global seismology

---

This textbook is intended for upper-division undergraduate and first-year graduate survey courses in seismology. It assumes that the student is familiar with basic calculus, complex numbers, and differential equations and has some general knowledge of geology. The focus is on the fudamental theory and physics of seismic waves and the application of this theory to extract the rich information about internal structure and dynamical processes in the Earth that is contained in seismograms, instrumental recordings of mechanical vibrations of the planet. Most of the text is developed in the context of global seismology topics, meaning large-scale Earth structure and earthquake sources. How ever, the principles underlying elastic-wave propagation, seismic instrumentation, and techniques for extracting Earth structure and source information from seismograms are cammon to applications in exploration seismology, a discipline that uses seismic waves to develop high-resolutions images of crustal structurefor oil and mineral resource exploration. The basic principles are in on wauy restected to the Earth, and in the future they will, we hope, be applied to many other celestial bodies (preliminary work has been performed on the Moon and Mars, and a spcialized field called helioseismology has revealed the internal structure of the Sun) ...
