Résumé

This new edition of the classic text by Aki and Richards has at last been updated throughout to systematically explain key concepts in seismology. Now in one volume, the book provides a unified treatment of seismological methods that will be of use to advanced students, seismologists, and scientists and engineers working in all areas of seismology.

L'auteur - Keiiti Aki

Keiiti Aki now resides on Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean, after a distinguished career that included faculty appointments for many years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Southern California. He carries out research on volcano seismology and maintains a vigorous schedule of global travel and lecturing.
