Bøger i Geophysics Reprints serien

Covering seismic diffraction theory, modeling, observation, and imaging, the papers address key topics and include: overview; forward modeling; diffraction mathematical modeling techniques; physical modeling laboratory experiments; the observation of seismic diffractions in near-surface, reservoir, and crustal studies; and diffraction imaging.

Includes an overview of classical theory; early cornerstones from the 17th century and the works of Grimaldi, Huygens, and Young; details of the classical theory of diffractions as developed in the 19th century and reprinted works of Fresnel, Green, Helmholtz, Kirchhoff, and Rayleigh; cornerstones of modern theory; and appendices.
