Recent Seismology

Recent Advances in Lunar Seismology

Introduction: The most detailed knowledge that we have on the interior structure so far concerning planetary bodies besides the Earth is the Moon. The Apollo seismic data have provided us with a unique opportunity to elucidate the internal structure of the Moon. The primary data set employed here are the Apollo seismic data which were obtained in the period from 1969 to 1972 when the US Apollo ...

GNSS ionospheric seismology: Recent observation evidences and characteristics

Magnetohydrodynamic waves and coronal seismology: an overview of recent results.

Recent observations have revealed that magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves and oscillations are ubiquitous in the solar atmosphere, with a wide range of periods. We give a brief review of some aspects of MHD waves and coronal seismology that have recently been the focus of intense debate or are newly emerging. In particular, we focus on four topics: (i) the current controversy surrounding propagati...

GPS seismology

GPS seismology uses convential geodetic models to analyze GPS data at high sampling rates, such as 1 Hz. GPS seismology results are shown for the Denali, San Simeon, Tokachi-oki, and Chuetsu earthquakes. Records for these earthquakes indicate that GPS is an excellent instrument for measuring large displacements near earthquake ruptures. GPS systems can be improved for seismic applications if th...

Statistical Seismology

Stochastic models with an increasing component of physical reasoning have been slowly gaining acceptance over the last two decades. The subject of statistical seismology aims to bridge the gap between physics-based models without statistics, and statistics-based models without physics. This volume, which is based largely on papers presented at the 3rd International Workshop on Statistical Seism...
