Fundamental Studies of Seismic Body Wave Attenuation

Abstract

This contract was for work that had two principal parts . First, a study of the properties of seismic waves P sub n and S sub n. Second, a more general study of effects due to scattering, of seismic wave propagation in heterogeneous media. The completed work resulted in six publications in reviewed journals, plus three publications in non-reviewed journals and books. Keywords: Teleseismic wave propagation; Numerical models.
