Amplitudes of reflected seismic waves can change significantly with increasing offset
between the seismic source and the receiver. Observing this offset-dependent reflectivity …

The Green's function (GF) method, which makes use of GFs, is an important and elegant tool
for solving a given boundary-value problem for the differential equation from a real …

This is the third edition of Seismic signatures and analysis of reflection data in anisotropic
media, with the first two published by Elsevier in 2001 and 2005. I am delighted that the …

An efficient recursive algorithm, the stiffness matrix method, has been developed for wave
propagation in multilayered generally anisotropic media. This algorithm has the …

Over the last few years, anisotropy has become a" hot topic" in seismic exploration and
seismology. It is now recognised that geological media deviate more or less from isotropy …

The numerical instability problem in the standard transfer matrix method has been resolved
by introducing the layer stiffness matrix and using an efficient recursive algorithm to …

The anisotropic linear viscoelastic rheological relation constitutes a suitable model for
describing the variety of phenomena which occur in seismic wavefields. This rheology …

Reflectivity synthetic seismograms demonstrate that the type, layering and orientation of 1-D
anisotropy influences strongly the coda of teleseismic P waves at periods T> 1 sec …

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 …
