Exploiting Seismic Waveforms

‘The authors of this volume are recognized internationally for their many fundamental contributions to global and exploration geophysics. They have succeeded admirably in producing a volume that straddles both disciplines and commenting on the often-ignored relationships and differences between them. Exploiting Seismic Waveforms is bound to become a standard reference in both theoretical and computational seismology. The theory is presented with the eloquence and crispness we have already known to be associated with previous writings by these two authors. Allow me therefore … to grade this beautiful volume with an A+.’ Sven Treitel, The Leading Edge

Brian Kennett is Emeritus Professor of Seismology at the Australian National University. His research interests are directed towards understanding the structure of the Earth from seismological observations. He is the recipient of numerous awards and medals for his work and is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Sciences and the Royal Society (London). He the author of more than 300 research papers and nine books.

Andreas Fichtner is Professor of Seismology and Wave Physics at ETH Zurich. His work is focused on the development of waveform tomography methods using high-performance computing, and their application in seismology and medical imaging. He is the recipient of several awards, including the 2011 Aki award of the American Geophysical Union, and is the editor or author of three other books.
