To explore new techniques for detecting and identifying targets in water, the propagation characteristics of seismic waves in shallow sea were deeply studied. Wave theory and staggered grid finite ...

At the Seismological Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology, we developed a highly accurate numerical technique, called the Spectral-Element Method, for the simulation of 3-D seismic ...

This is in part because if you were to plunge down 2,700 kilometers (1,700 miles), you would be jump-scared by seismic waves that accelerate when they hit the threshold of the D” layer.

Data captured from seismic waves caused by earthquakes has shed new light on the deepest parts of Earth’s inner core, according to seismologists from The Australian National University (ANU).

Understanding how light travels through various materials is essential for many fields, from medical imaging to manufacturing. However, due to their structure, materials often show directional ...

Tsukuba, Japan—A recent study has mathematically clarified how the presence of crystals and gas bubbles in magma affects the propagation of seismic P-waves. The researchers derived a new ...
