History of Seismograms and Earthquakes of the World
Key Features * Historical seisograms are extremely important in establishing a long-term database and in supplementing more recent information obtained by global seismic networks; The papers presented here address awide range of historical earthquake research and discuss earthquake data from around the world, which has until now remained largely inaccessible; Topics include: * importance of historical seismograms for geophysical research * historical seismograms and interpretation of strong earthquakes * application of modern techniques to analysis of historical earthquakes
Anatomy of Seismograms
Frequent updating of existing interpretation codes and routines is a prerequisite for modern seismogram interpretation and research. The primary goal of this book is to present in a rather tutorial form all the necessary information and techniques pertinent to essential seismogram interpretation. The treatment is descriptive rather then mathematical, and emphasis is placed on practical aspects, especially for the benefit of students and junior seismogram interpreters affiliated to seismographic stations and observatories. Those workers more knowledgeable in seismology, and curious enough in the detailed deciphering of seismogram peculiarities, will also find the presentation useful.The book ...
Catalog of Seismogram Archives
"Seismograms provide the seismologist the most efficient means of 'looking' into the most inaccessible regions of the Earth--the Earth's interior. Geophysical studies based on seismograms have drawn a vivid picture of a planet that has a solid inner core about 1250-km radius, a fluid outer core about 3470-km radius, a mantle about 2900 km thick, and a crust about 30 km thick. Other studies have pinpointed areas of high earthquake risk, where the buildings in which we live and work must be constructed to resist damaging earthquake motion. Further, the methods devised to describe Earth's internal structure have been used by many others to search for rich deposits of oil and minerals beneath its surface and its oceans"--Introduction.

The Seismic Wavefield: Volume 2, Interpretation of Seismograms on Regional and Global Scales
Guide to understanding of seismograms for graduate students, researchers, professionals in academia and petroleum industry.
Applied Geophysics
This is the completely revised and updated version of the popular and highly regarded textbook, Applied Geophysics. It describes the physical methods involved in exploration for hydrocarbons and minerals, which include gravity, magnetic, seismic, electrical, electromagnetic, radioactivity, and well-logging methods. All aspects of these methods are described, including basic theory, field equipment, techniques of data acquisition, data processing and interpretation, with the objective of locating commercial deposits of minerals, oil, and gas and determining their extent. In the fourteen years or so since the first edition of Applied Geophysics, many changes have taken place in this field, mainly as the result of new techniques, better instrumentation, and increased use of computers in the field and in the interpretation of data. The authors describe these changes in considerable detail, including improved methods of solving the inverse problem, specialized seismic methods, magnetotellurics as a practical exploration method, time-domain electromagnetic methods, increased use of gamma-ray spectrometers, and improved well-logging methods and interpretation.
Forensic Seismology and Nuclear Test Bans
Springing from 50 years' experience in forensic seismology research, this book charts the development of seismic data analysis.
