Description

An intermediate-level textbook on the origin and nature of earthquakes and what they reveal about the structure of the Earth's interior. This second edition of Principles of Seismology has been extensively updated to present a modern approach to observation seismology and the theory behind digital seismograms. 1. Seismology. The science of earthquakes 2. Earthquakes, Earth's structure and dynamics 3. Instrumentation and digital data processing 4. Basic concepts and equations of an elastic medium 5. Waves in an infinite elastic medium 6. Reflection and refraction 7. Body wave propagation in layered media 8. Ray theory. Media of constant velocity 9. Ray theory media of variable velocity 10. Ray theory spherical media 11. Travel times and the structure of the Earth 12. Surface waves 13. Wave dispersion. Phase and group velocities 14. Free oscillations of the Earth. Theory and observations 15. Anelasticity and anisotropy 16. Focal parameters of earthquakes 17. Basic theory of earthquake mechanism 18. The seismic moment tensor 19. Simple models of fracture 20. Methods of determination of source mechanisms 21. Seismicity, seismotectonics, seismic risk, and prediction.
