Theoretical global seismology /

After every major earthquake, the Earth rings like a bell for several days. These free oscillations of the Earth and the related propagating body and surface waves are routinely detected at broad-band seismographic stations around the world. In this comprehensive treatise, Dahlen and Tromp present a...
