Principles of Seismology Book

This is a text on seismology at the introductory level. It covers most of the fundamental aspects of the subject and is intended to be as student friendly as possible, but with enough detail of mathematical developments and with emphasis on understanding fundamental concepts. The author describes the application of seismology to the knowledge of the structure of the Earth's interior and the origin and nature of earthquakes. The book contains a large number of figures to help make the text more easily understood, together with extensive problems and exercises.Read More

  • Product Description

    This textbook for upper division undergraduates and graduate students provides the ideal introduction to seismology. A student-friendly text fully details the fundamental concepts and includes a step-by-step development of the relevant mathematics. Beginning with clear examples of introductory topics such as one-dimensional problems and liquid media, the book goes on to cover most of the fundamental concepts in seismology. The author describes the application of seismology to the knowledge of the structure of the earth's interior and the origin and nature of earthquakes. Coverage includes seismic wave propagation, normal mode theory, ray theory approximation, body and surface waves, source mechanisms and kinematic and dynamic models. The book also contains appendices on useful mathematical tools and includes extensive problems that help students to understand the basic concepts in this area.
