Seismic Wavefields in Layered Isotropic Media
Ilya Tsvankin
Course notes, Colorado School of Mines
The notes are devoted to asymptotic and numerical analysis of point-source radiation in horizontally layered isotropic media with an emphasis on the physics of wave propagation. Includes a detailed discussion of wave phenomena not accounted for by the standard ray theory. Covers material from the second semester of a two-semester seismological course (GPGN553, Introductory Seismology – II) that the author teaches in the Geophysics Department at CSM. 100 pages and 27 figures.
