Preface TO THE FIRST EDITION In the past decade, seismology has matured as a quantitative science through an exten- sive interplay between theoretical and experimental workers. Several specialized journals recorded this progress in thousands of pages of research papers, yet such a forum does not bring out key concepts systematically. Because many graduate students have expressed their need for a textbook on this subject and because many methods of seismogram analysis now used almost routinely by small groups of seismologists have never been adequately explained to the wider audience of scientists and engineers who work in the peripheral ar- eas of seismology, we have here attempted to give a unified treatment of those methods of seismology which are currently used in interpreting actual data. We develop the theory of seismic wave propagation in realistic Earth models. We study specialized theories of fracture and rupture propagation as models of an earthquake, and we supplement these theoretical subjects with practical descriptions of how seismographs work and how data are analyzed and inverted. Our text is arranged in two volumes. Volume I gives a systematic development of the theory of seismic-wave propagation in classical Earth models, in which material properties vary only with depth. It concludes with a chapter on seismometry. This volume is intended to be used as a textbook in basic courses for advanced students of seismology. Volume I1 summarizes progress made in the major frontiers of seismology during the past decade. It covers a wide range of special subjects, including chapters on data analysis and inversion, on successful methods for quantifying wave propagation in media varying laterally (as well as with depth), and on the kinematic and dynamic aspects of motions near a fault plane undergoing rupture. The second volume may be used as a textbook in graduate courses on tectonophysics, earthquake mechanics, inverse problems in geophysics, and geophysical data processing. Many people have helped us. Armando Cisternas worked on the original plan for the book, suggesting part of the sequence of subjects we eventually adopted. Frank Press’s encouragement was a major factor in getting this project started. Chapter 12, on inverse problems, grew out of a course given at MIT by one of the authors and Theodore R. Madden, to whom we are grateful for many helpful discussions. Our students’ Ph.D. theses have taught us much of what we know, and have been freely raided. We drew upon the explicit ideas and results of several hundred people, many of them colleagues, and hope xvii

Preface TO THE PAPERBACK VERSION OF THE SECOND EDITION In 1975 I received a surprising letter from Kei Aki, beginning “I wonder if you would be interested in coauthoring a text book on theoretical seismology with me . . . ” We had both taught advanced seismology courses at our respective institutions, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Columbia University. But his were informed by many years as a leading researcher. He had worked on everything from the practical study of noise to theoretical frameworks for interpreting free oscillation signals. I was in my fourth year as an assistant professor, knew nothing about vast areas of seismology, and had focussed on some details in source theory and wave propagation that he knew a great deal more about than I did. But I said yes to his invitation, and thus began a wonderful four- year period of being forced to learn about seismology well enough to write explanations of the underlying theory. At that time, in the mid to late 1970s, the concept of quantifying seismic sources with a moment tensor had just begun to take hold. Film chips of analog data from the Worldwide Standardized Seismographic Network were the best source of seismograms for most geophysicists in academia, but their narrow band and limited dynamic range were problematic (the seismograms, not the geophysicists). Broadband instruments and digital methods of recording were only beginning to show their potential. Kei sent me 300 pages of his teaching notes. We quickly drafted a sequence of chapter titles and began writing. In 1978 we sent our first draft to the publisher. It was promptly rejected as being three times longer than planned, and unmarketable. I was devastated. But Kei calmly responded with the suggestion that we could do a little re-organization and offer the material as two volumes. The original publishers agreed, and after two more years of editing and figure preparation the first edition appeared in February 1980. The IRIS Consortium and the Federation of Digital Seismographic Networks emerged in the 1980s to meet growing needs for high-quality broadband seismic data. Global, national, regional, and local networks of broadband seismometers have since been deployed at thousands of locations, and quantitative seismology is conducted today on a scale that could hardly be imagined in the 1970s and 1980s. Every generation of seismologists correctly knows that it is working at new levels of excellence. As always, the rationale for support to seismology is multi-faceted: to study the Earth’s internal structure, to conduct research in the physics of earthquakes, to quantify and mitigate earthquake hazard, and ... Xlll
xiv PREFACE TO THE PAPERBACK VERSION OF THE SECOND EDITION to monitor explosions both to evaluate the weapons development programs of a potential adversary and to support initiatives in nuclear arms control. These different applications of seismology are illustrated by our own careers. In 1984 Kei Aki moved from MIT to the University of Southern California, and promoted inte- gration of scientific information about earthquakes and its public transfer as the founding science director of the Southern California Earthquake Center. At the Center, for example, input from earthquake geologists was used together with the fault model of quantitative seismology, to generate output useful for earthquake engineers. In this work, the concept of seismic moment was central to unifying information from plate tectonics, geology, geodesy, and historical and instrumental seismology. The public transfer of the integrated informa- tion was made in the form of probabilistic estimates of earthquake hazards. The Center is still alive and well, long after Kei left for an on-site prediction of volcanic eruptions using seismic signals from an active volcano (RCunion) in the Indian Ocean. In the mid-l980s, I also changed my interests to applied aspects of seismology and began work on practical problems of monitoring compliance with nuclear test ban treaties. At first the main issue was estimating the size of the largest underground nuclear explosions, in the context of assessing compliance with the 150 kiloton limit of the Threshold Test Ban Treaty. Later the focus changed to a series of technical issues in detection, location, and identification of small explosions, in the context of verification of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. This latter treaty became a reality in 1996, and is now associated with an Interna- tional Data Centre in Vienna and an International Monitoring System currently being built with stations at hundreds of new sites around the world. In early 1996, Xiaodong Song and I working at Columbia’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory discovered small changes in the travel time with which seismic waves traverse the Earth’s inner core-evidence that we interpreted as due to inner core motion with respect to the rest of the solid Earth. These developments in understanding earthquake hazard, explosion monitoring, and Earth’s internal structure and processes, directly show that people do seismology for utterly different reasons. The common thread is interpretation of seismograms. The quality of data and ease of data access have greatly improved since 1980, but the fundamentals of seismogram interpretation are little changed. Progress in applications of seismology relies upon sophisticated methods of analysis, often incorporated into software that students must learn to use soon after beginning graduate school. The purpose of this book is to provide students and other researchers with the underlying theory essential to understanding these methods-and their pitfalls, and possibilities for improvement. We received numerous requests to keep the 1980 edition in print, and it would have been easy to accept invitations simply to republish. But I decided in late 1994 to rewrite rather than republish, because the emergence of new methods for detecting and recording seismic motions meant that much of the instrumentation chapter would have to be completely reworked, and rewriting could accommodate new problems, up-to-date references, and thousands of small changes as well as major revision of some sections. The new publisher, University Science Books, working with Windfall Software, enabled this second edition with modern methods of design and typesetting. Numerous typographical errors have been corrected for this paperback edition. I thank many people for finding them, especially Koji Uenishi, who worked on the Japanese edition. Dropped from the first edition are chapters on inverse theory, methods of data analysis, and seismic wave propagation in media with general heterogeneity. (Note that whole books
PREFACE TO THE PAPERBACK VERSION OF THE SECOND EDITION xv have been published since 1980 on these subjects.) Parts of our discarded chapters have been reworked into the chapters that remain. Numerous sections elsewhere are brought up-to-date (for example, an explanation of the centroid moment tensor). The revised and rewritten material emphasizes basic methods that have turned out to be most important in practice. In May 2005 we received the news of Kei Aki’s untimely death in his home town on RCunion Island. In the pages of Seismological Review Letters (76, 551-553, issue of Sept/Oct 2005) I have described some of his many accomplishments. I am so fortunate to have been among the more than one hundred people who worked as co-authors with him. He was a gentle leader, informal and approachable, who provided the quantitative methods that now guide the work of thousands of Earth scientists around the world. Books like this are more than scaled-up versions of research papers-teams of people have to work together for years to turn concepts into reality. I thank Jane Ellis, my editor at University Science Books, for encouragement, tact, patience, help, and stamina since we began this project in 1994. The help of the first edition publisher, W. H. Freeman and Co., in allowing us to use original figures where possible, is gratefully acknowledged. I thank Paul Anagnostopoulos of Windfall Software who introduced me to Z z T S and solved electronic design and typesetting problems on this second edition over more than ten years; Kathy Falato and Violeta Tomsa who took care of my office at Lamont; and Kathy Falato, Elizabeth Jackson, MaryEllen Oliver, and Gillian Richards for entering text and equations to recreate something like the original edition electronically, thus giving me an entity that could be revised. (How else could piles of notes for revision be merged with a text generated in the 1970s with IBM Selectrics?) I received support during the rewriting from Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1997, and from several federal agencies back at Lamont. Many people helped with comments on the first edition, with suggestions for new material, critical reading, supplying references and figures, and checking the new problems. It is a pleasure here to acknowledge such contributions to the second edition from Duncan Agnew, Joe Andrews, Yehuda Ben-Zion, Phil Cummins, Steve Day, Tony Dahlen, Wen-xuan Du, Goran Ekstrom, Karen Fischer, Steve Grand, John Granville, David Harkrider, Klaus Jacob, Bruce Julian, Richard Katz, Vitaly Khalturin, Debi Kilb, Won-Young Kim (who selected the broadband seismogram shown in red on the cover, and the filtered versions with all their different character as shown also in Figure 12.1), Boris Kostrov, Anyi Li, Wenyi Li, Gerhard Miiller, Jeffrey Park, Mike Ritzwoller, Peter Shearer, Jinghua Shi, Bob Smith, Stan Whitcomb, Riidi Widmer, Bob Woodward, and Jian Zhang. To facilitate commentary on the second edition (both hard copy and this paperback), and to provide supplementary material as it may accumulate in future years, a website is maintained at http://www.LDEO.columbia.edu/-richards/Aki-Richards.html Jody Richards has stayed with all this, and with me, since the very beginning. I owe her more than thanks, and am so glad we can still dance together. Paul G. Richards February 2009
