\u003ci\u003eModern Global Seismology, Second Edition\u003c/i\u003e, is a complete, self-contained primer on seismology, featuring extensive coverage of all related aspectsâfrom observational data through predictionâand emphasizing the fundamental theories and physics governing seismic waves, both natural and anthropogenic. Based on thoroughly class-tested material, the text provides a unique perspective on Earthâs large-scale internal structure and dynamic processes, particularly earthquake sources, and the application of theory to the dynamic processes of the earthâs upper layer. This insightful new edition is designed for accessibility and comprehension for graduate students entering the field.Exploration seismologists will also find it an invaluable resource on topics such as elastic-wave propagation, seismic instrumentation, and seismogram analysis.\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes more than 400 illustrations, from both recent and traditional research articles, to help readers visualize mathematical relationships, as well as boxed features to explain advanced topics \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers incisive treatments of seismic waves, waveform evaluation and modeling, and seismotectonics, as well as quantitative treatments of earthquake source mechanics and numerous examples of modern broadband seismic recordings \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers current seismic instruments and networks and demonstrates modern waveform inversion methods \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes extensive, updated references for further reading new to this edition\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures reorganized chapters split into two sections, beginning with introductory content such as tectonics and seismogram analysis, and moving on to more advanced topics, including seismic wave excitation and propagation, multivariable and vector calculus, and tensor approaches \u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompletely updated references and figures to bring the text up to date Includes all-new sections on recent advancements and to enhance examples and understanding Split into shorter chapters to allow more flexibility for instructors and easier access for researchers, and includes exercises\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e |
