RESEARCH IN SEISMOLOGY.

Abstract

The report contains a summary and analysis of the results of research concerned with: (1) Focal mechanisms and the properties of seismic sources, including research on methods of determination and on the relation to regional and global tectonics in selected seismic zones. (2) Determination of the magnitude and the energy-release of earthquakes. (3) Effects of earth structure on wave propagation, including determination of the distribution of seismic velocities, travel-time curves and the effect of anistropy. (4) Model investigations of decoupling of explosions, and of seismic effects of explosions in prestressed and layered media. (Author)
