Pure and Applied Geophysics.

This book provides an approachable and concise introduction to seismic theory, designed as a first course for undergraduate students. It clearly explains the fundamental concepts, emphasizing intuitive understanding over lengthy derivations. Additional material has been added throughout including numerical methods, 3-D ray tracing, earthquake location, attenuation, normal modes, and receiver functions.

Shearer is a Professor of Geophysics at the Scripps Institution of Ocean-ography, University of California, San Diego. He has written over 100 scientic papers on various aspects of seismology and is currently the President-Elect of the seismology section of the American Geophysical Union.

This book provides an approachable and concise introduction to seismology theory. Topics include all that is needed for a comprehensive first course in seismology: stress/strain theory, seismic wave equation, ray theory, tomography, reflection seismology, surface waves, source theory, anisotropy and earthquake prediction. Detailed exercises follow each chapter, giving students the opportunity to apply the techniques they have learned to compute results of interest and to illustrate some.

This book provides an approachable and concise introduction to seismology theory. It clearly explains the fundamental concepts, emphasizing intuitive understanding over lengthy derivations. Topics include all that is needed for a comprehensive first course in seismology: stress/strain theory, seismic wave equation, ray theory, tomography, reflection seismology, surface waves, source theory, anisotropy and earthquake prediction. Detailed exercises follow each chapter, giving students the opportunity to apply the techniques they have learned to compute results of interest and to illustrate some of Earth's seismic properties. In several cases, computer subroutines are provided to assist with these exercises. Numerous illustrations accompany the text, including examples of seismograms and images of the global seismic wavefield. This textbook is ideal for any introductory course in seismology taught to upper-division undergraduates or first-year graduate students, and is especially suited for a one-semester class on seismology.
  • This is one of six seismology books I have recently purchased. They all complement each other. This is a good book with a difficulty of level of about 3 out of 5. I have no problem with the math in it even 50 years after graduate level math courses.
    I bought it to evaluate data from my home built seismograph which has picked up about 25 events in two months from all over the world. There is much information in it that doesn't require higher math.

  • A bit over my head (haven't used calculus in decades). But otherwise an interesting read on how seismology works.

  • It was on my husband's wishlist. He seemed to love it even though it was a textbook. If you are interested in Seismology or the topography of the planet...here you go.

  • The printing quality was bad - it was tilted . I also have the same book bought before, but the paper quality got worse too.

  • I love this book. It is thinner than Stein and Wysession, but equally good in quality. I have learned introductory level seismology. But I can still learn a lot when I come back to read it again.

  • Good

  • it's quite easy to read. you basically could finish it by yourself. the homework is interesting. There are lots of figures and tables to make things easy to follow.

  • I purchased this book to teach myself seismology. It is a great introductory, so it's appropriately named. Shearer writes clearly and concisely, and the book is mostly self-contained.
