Geologists and other Earth scientists survey advanced computational, observational, and interpretational seismology and geophysics for the benefit of researchers and graduate students in the geosciences. Among the topics are applications of full-wave seismic data assimilation (FWSDA), the two-way coupling of solid-fluid with discrete element model and lattice Boltzmann model, the subsurface rupture structure of the M7.1 Darfield and M6.3 Christchurch earthquake sequence viewed with fault-zone trapped waves, and the statistical modeling of earthquake occurrences based on external geophysical observations with an illustrative application to the ultra-low-frequency ground electric signals observed in the Beijing region.

Presenting current approaches in observational and computational seismology, this book introduces advanced methods and techniques by means of case studies in earthquake research. Among others these include solving inverse seismologic problems, tomography for structure imaging, characterizing fault damage and healing, seismicity analysis for determining pre-shock moment release, and coupled solid-fluid models.
