Geosciences 577 - Introduction to Seismology

This course offers an introduction to the science of seismology. This course constitutes a broad overview of observational and theoretical seismology and the utilization of seismic waves for the study of the Earth's interior, and help students develop a better understanding of physical principles important for geophysical research. Topics include elastic wave propagation, seismic ray theory, interpretation of travel times, finite frequency effects, surface wave dispersion, and seismic tomography.
