the researchers looked at changes in the propagation speed of seismic waves. The data they used are the "background" seismic vibrations generated by the oceans, winds, and human activity—not the ...

The simplified assumptions in seismic wave propagation models and the complexity of Earth’s internal geometric structures, lithological properties, and material states create discrepancies ...

Particles subjected to a P wave move in the same direction that the wave is moves in; it is the direction that the energy is traveling in, sometimes called the “direction of wave propagation.” ...

This course is primarily for graduate students intending to specialize in seismology. Theory of seismic wave propagation in anisotropic medium will be covered in detail. As exercises, students will ...

Sound waves travel through different types of matter, including liquid water. Importantly, the movement of ocean water can ...

The recent earthquakes in Burma, with magnitudes 7.7 and 6.7, have been closely analyzed using satellite data, offering crucial insights into the ground motion and seismic impacts. This article delves ...

We also have a very strong program in computational geophysics, with three new faculty that perform large-scale parallel computations to constrain seismic-wave propagation and hydrologic flow. Geology ...
