An extended reflectivity method is described by which complete seismograms for a point
source in a layered half-space can be calculated. Starting with the differential equations and …

Within the last decade a new picture of the oceanic crust has emerged from advances in
seismic experimental design, instrumentation, and analysis techniques. In this new picture …

Seismic Wave Propagation in Stratified Media presents a systematic treatment of the
interaction of seismic waves with Earth structure. The theoretical development is physically …

glory; 5. Mie solution and resonances; 6. Complex angular momentum; 7. Scattering by an …

The computation of theoretical seismograms for models in which the elastic parameters and
density vary only with depth (in a plane, cylindrical or spherical geometry) reduces to the …

We compare synthetic and recorded P wave forms to place constraints on the focal depths
and fault plane solutions of 16 crustal earthquakes beneath the highest parts (> 4000 m) of …

This paper is intended to help those not familiar with the “lore” of layered earth modeling to
avoid some common problems. In the computation of the reflectivity function, an easily …

Short-and long-period precursors of the PKP phase were used to study an ultra-low velocity
zone (ULVZ) near the core-mantle boundary beneath the Western Pacific. Synthetic …

The Seismic Wavefield provides a guide to the understanding of seismograms in terms of
physical propagation processes within the Earth. The focus is on the observation of …

Shock‐wave (Hugoniot) data for initially porous and nonporous samples of iron are inverted
to yield values of the Grüneisen parameter (γ), adiabatic bulk modulus (Ks), and coefficient …
