Most of our understanding of the Earth's interior has been derived from measurements from
global seismic networks, although no network has ever been truly “global” because some …

This book is an introductory text to a range of numerical methods used today to simulate time-
dependent processes in Earth science, physics, engineering, and many other fields. The …

We present the chain of time‐reverse modeling, image space wavefield decomposition and
several imaging conditions as a migration‐like algorithm called time‐reverse imaging. The …

A method is presented for application of the perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing
boundary condition (ABC) to the P‐SV velocity–stress finite‐difference method. The PML …

Understanding seismic wave propagation in realistic seafloor environments is essential for
many problems in marine seismology. Finite difference methods are becoming increasingly …

Finite-difference (FD) techniques are widely used to model wave propagation through
complex structures. Two main sources of error can be identified:(1) from numerical …

The primary goal of the Ocean Seismic Network Pilot Experiment (OSNPE) was to learn how
to make high quality broadband seismic measurements on the ocean bottom in preparation …

While time-series analysis and modeling has always been the approach used by
geophysicists for studying low-frequency seismic wave propagation in the Earth's crust …

For safe tunnel excavation, it is important to predict lithologic and structural heterogeneities
ahead of construction. Conventional tunnel seismic prediction systems utilize body waves (P …

The two-dimensional P-wave attenuation structure of the axial crust of the East Pacific Rise
was obtained from an inversion of waveform spectra collected during an active-source …
