Seismic Wave Propagation and Scattering in the Heterogenous Earth
Seismic waves – generated both by natural earthquakes and by man-made sources – have produced an enormous amount of information about the Earth''s interior. In classical seismology, the Earth is modeled as a sequence of uniform horizontal layers (or sperical shells) having different elastic properties and one determines these properties from travel times and dispersion of seismic waves. The Earth,...
