Seismic Wave Propagation in Stratified Media
by Brian Kennett
Publisher: ANU Press 2009
ISBN-13: 9781921536731
Number of pages: 298
Description:
The book presents a systematic treatment of the interaction of seismic waves with Earth structure. The theoretical development is physically based and is closely tied to the nature of the seismograms observed across a wide range of distance scales -- from a few kilometres as in shallow reflection work for geophysical prospecting, to many thousands of kilometres for major earthquakes. A unified framework is presented for all classes of seismic phenomena, for both body waves and surface waves.

Geochronology: Methods and Case Studiesby Nils-Axel Morner (ed.) - InTech
Chronology is the backbone of history, and there is a saying stating there is no history without a chronology. Earths evolutionary history is built up by geochronology, i.e. time benchmarks upon which the geological history is built up step by step.
