Body and Surface Wave Modeling of Observed Seismic Events

Abstract

In Section II, results of modeling Lg waves crossing continental margins by combining analytic with finite element calculations are presented. In Section III, a body-wave analysis of the 1966 Gisborne, New Zealand earthquake is given. In Section IV, results are presented of modeling observations of S, SS, SSS where the event occurs near tectonic margins and are recorded on stable continents. Keywords: Continent ocean transitions.
