Exciting developments in earthquake science have benefited from new observations, improved computational technologies, and improved modelling capabilities. Designing realistic supercomputer simulation models for the complete earthquake generation process is a grand scientific challenge due to the complexity of phenomena and range of scales involved from microscopic to global.
Matlab is used for for a wide range of applications in geosciences, such as image processing in remote sensing, the generation and processing of digital elevation models, and the analysis of time series. This book introduce methods of data analysis in geosciences using Matlab, such as basic statistics for univariate, bivariate and multivariate datasets, time-series analysis, signal processing, …
The most fundamental part of our environment is the earth on which we live and with which we have the closest contact. This is the realm of geology, the science of the earth. The materials of the solid earth – the rocks, their structure, their alteration by geologic processes, the fossil remains of ancient life in the rock formations – these are the tools the geologist uses to reconstruct t…
Seismology would be a very different science without instruments. The real big advance in seismology happened form around 1900 and onwards and was mainly due to advancement in making better seismograph (more sensitive) and devising timing system so earthquakes could be located.
The purpose of this book is to get a practical understanding of the most common processing techniques in earthquake seismology. The book will deal with manual methods and computer assisted methods. The idea is that each topic will be introduced with the basic theory followed by practical examples and exercises.
