Regional variations of the intrinsic shear wave quality factor Qµ in both the upper crust and
upper mantle of continents are large, with values in old, stable cratons exceeding those in …

The analysis and interpretation of coda waves have received increasing attention since the
early seventies. In the past few years interest in this subject has spread worldwide, and the …

An Introduction to Mining Seismology describes comprehensively the modern methods and
techniques used to monitor and study seismicity and rockbursts in mines. Key case histories …

For advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in atmospheric, oceanic,
and climate science, Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate Dynamics is an introductory textbook …

Synthetic seismograms produced by the finite difference method are used to study the
scattering of elastic and acoustic waves in two‐dimensional media with random spatial …

Recent measurements of Qβ− 1 of S waves in the lithosphere for frequency range from 0.02
to 25 Hz show a remarkable frequency dependence and systematic variation from place to …

Earthquakes occur over a continuous energy spectrum, ranging from high-magnitude, but
rare, earthquakes to those of relatively low magnitude but high frequency of occurrence (ie …

A contour map of crustal Q0 values for the entire United States is presented based on a
scattering model to explain the coda waves of local and near regional earthquakes. These …

Seismic wave attenuation was measured in New England from the time domain decay of
coda wave amplitudes on narrow bandpass-filtered seismograms of local earthquakes. The …

The goals of this study are two-fold:(1) to examine the site effect of coda waves, believed to
be the average site effect of shear waves, in order to understand its spatial and frequency …
