Description for A Breviary of Seismic Tomography: Imaging the Interior of the Earth and Sun
hardcover. The first textbook to provide an extensive introduction to seismic tomography for advanced students and research practitioners. Num Pages: 360 pages, 100 b/w illus. BIC Classification: RBC; RBG. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 253 x 181 x 22. Weight in Grams: 856.
This is the first textbook to cover the essential aspects of the topic at a level accessible to students. While focusing on applications in solid earth geophysics, the book also includes excursions into helioseismology, thereby highlighting the strong affinity between the two fields. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to seismic tomography, including the basic theory of wave propagation, the ray and Born approximations required for interpretation of amplitudes, and travel times and phases. It considers observational features while also providing practical recommendations for implementing numerical models. Written by one of the leaders in the field, and containing numerous student ...

Reviews for A Breviary of Seismic Tomography: Imaging the Interior of the Earth and Sun
'What I consider very valuable in this book are the many exercises for students and, in particular, the references to software repositories, which help students improving their understanding of tomography and practitioners analyzing their data.... This very readable and inspiring book has brought my knowledge and understanding of this very interesting research field to a higher level. ... this book ... Read more
