Shear waves split into fast and slow waves when they travel through elastically anisotropic media, and the anisotropy of the seismic velocity is recorded by seismic stations. In the Earth's deep ...

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 ...

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