Exploiting Seismic Waveforms Correlation, Heterogeneity and Inversion

Exploiting Seismic Waveforms Correlation, Heterogeneity and Inversion by Brian L. N. Kennett, published by Cambridge University Press on December 3, 2020, is a comprehensive resource that delves into recent advancements in seismology. This edition, spanning 502 pages, introduces readers to correlation techniques, multi-scale heterogeneity, and the extraction of structural and source information through seismic waveform inversion, providing a thorough examination of these critical topics.

Readers will find a detailed exploration of correlation methods applicable to both seismic noise and event signals, along with the development of inverse methods for sources and structures. The book emphasizes the significance of higher frequency components in seismograms, which often hold valuable information about seismic structure that traditional seismic tomography may overlook. With a focus on practical procedures for 3-D structure waveform inversion, this work is designed for students and researchers in seismology, offering insights into the physical understanding of seismic waveforms and the handling of seismic data.
