Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

The seismic ambient field allows us to study interactions between the atmosphere, the oceans and the solid Earth. The theoretical understanding of seismic ambient noise has improved substantially in the last decades, and the number of its applications has increased dramatically. With chapters written by eminent scientists from the field, this book covers a range of topics including ambient noise observations, generation models of their physical origins, numerical modelling and processing methods. The later chapters focus on applications in imaging and monitoring the internal structure of the Earth, including interferometry for time-dependant imaging and tomography. This volume thus provides a comprehensive overview of this cutting-edge discipline for graduate students studying geophysics and for scientists working in seismology and other imaging sciences.

Nori Nakata is an Assistant Professor in Geophysics at the University of Oklahoma. He received the Mendenhau Prize from the Colorado School of Mines in 2013 and the Young Scientist Award from the Seismological Society of Japan in 2017. His research interests include crustal and global seismology, exploration geophysics, volcanology and civil engineering. Lucia Gualtieri is a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton University, New Jersey, mainly interested in studying the coupling between the solid Earth and the other Earth systems, and in using seismic signals to image the Earth's structure. She received the 2016 Laura Bassi Young Scientist Award of the Italian Physical Society and the 2017 Keiiti Aki Young Scientist Award of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). Andreas Fichtner is a Professor leading the Seismology and Wave Physics Group at Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich. His research interests include inverse theory and tomography, numerical wave propagation, effective medium theory, and seismic interferometry. He received early career awards from the American Geological Union (AGU) and the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), and is the recipient of an European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant. He serves as a consultant in the development of Salvus (a suite of full waveform modelling and inversion software) with a focus on seismic and seismological applications.
