دانلود کتاب Seismic Wave Theory

Perfect for senior undergraduates and first-year graduate students in geophysics, physics,
mathematics, geology, and engineering, this book is devoted exclusively to seismic wave
theory. The result is an invaluable teaching tool, with its detailed derivations of formulas,
clear explanations of topics, exercises along with selected answers, and an additional set of
exercises with derived answers on the book’s website. Some highlights of the text include
a review of vector calculus and Fourier transforms and an introduction to tensors, which
prepare readers for the chapters to come; a detailed discussion of computing reflection
and transmission coefficients, a topic of wide interest in the field; and a discussion in
later chapters of plane waves in anisotropic and anelastic media, which serves as a useful
introduction to these two areas of current research in geophysics. Students will learn to
understand seismic wave theory through the book’s clear and concise pedagogy.
edward s . krebes is a professor emeritus in geophysics in the Department of
Geoscience at the University of Calgary. He has published many peer-reviewed papers
on seismic wave propagation theory in leading journals such as the Journal of Geophysical
Research, Geophysics, Geophysical Journal International, and the Bulletin of the Seismological
Society of America. He recently coauthored and published another book, Seismic
Forward Modeling of Fractures and Fractured Medium Inversion (2018). He was an
associate editor of the journal Geophysics. His primary research interests are in theoretical
and computational seismology, and seismic wave propagation in particular.
