Theoretical Global Seismology / / F. A. Dahlen, Jeroen Tromp.
After every major earthquake, the Earth rings like a bell for several days. These free oscillations of the Earth and the related propagating body and surface waves are routinely detected at broad-band seismographic stations around the world. In this book, F. A. Dahlen and Jeroen Tromp present an adv...
