Seismology and CTBT Verification

It is well-known that the design and production of nuclear weapons required major efforts in scientific research and engineering, with a supporting infrastructure of weapons laboratories. Less well-known, is that scientific research and development have also played an important role in nuclear arms control. In this paper, my purpose is to explain the role of seismology in treaty verification; t...

Synthetics and Theoretical Seismology

range and the location of artificial reflectors or intermediate values at these points. A similar fictitious sources inherent in discrete wave economy can be obtained using the itrerative reflection and transmission coefficient relations number techniques. The number and spacing of wave numbers in wave number integration schemes are of Kennett. Kamel and Felsen (1981) presented a hybrid determi...

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...
