We present a review of the recent development in finite-difference time-domain modeling of
seismic wave propagation and earthquake motion. The finite-difference method is a robust …

The first edition of this book was a slightly modified version of my dissertation (defended in
February 2001). This second edition has been extended considerably. Many technological …

The primary goal of the presented text is to provide basics of the finite-difference method and
its application to the numerical modeling of seismic wave propagation and earthquake …

Marine seismic vibrators are generally considered to be less intrusive than airguns from an
environmental perspective. This is because they emit their energy spread out in time, rather …

The estimation of the air gun source signature is a crucial topic in marine seismic. Typical
approaches such as numerical modelling or near-field measurement-based inversion …

Seismic-data processing flows often ignore spatial and temporal variations in the sea
surface during marine seismic acquisition by assuming a flat free surface. However, weather …

For the simulation of seismic wavefields in the ocean, it is very important to consider the
influences of the irregular seabed and the rough sea surface. To numerically model seismic …

The Kirchhoff approximation (KA) for elastic wave scattering from two-dimensional (2D) and
three-dimensional (3D) rough surfaces is critically examined using finite-element (FE) …

Sea surface reflection coefficient estimates are obtained from imaged sea surfaces by
applying an imaging technique that is based on decomposed wavefields acquired by dual …

A new method is presented for seismic deghosting of towed streamer data acquired in rough
seas. The deghosting scheme combines pressure recordings along one or several cables …
