Surface Wave Analysis for Near Surface Applications

Seismic Wave Analysis for Near Surface Applications presents the foundational tools and techniques necessary to properly analyze surface-wave dispersion for applications in seismic hazard identification, data analysis and interpretation. Surface waves have become critical to near-surface geophysics both for geotechnical goals and seismic-hazard studies. Included in this book are the related theories, approaches and applications which the lead editor has assembled from a range of authored contributions carefully selected from the latest developments in research. A unique blend of theory and practice, the book's concepts are based on exhaustive field research conducted over the past decade from the world's leading seismologists and geophysicists.
