Abstract:

The research efforts of the research associates supported by this program are described. These studies are divided into two groups I. Continental size arrays and their application, and II. Theoretical seismograms and earth structure. A continental size array can be realized by considering individual seismic stations as array elements. The theoretical seismograms for P and S waves are computed for a model of point source in layered medium and matched with observed records.
