Determination of Earthquake Source Parameters from Wave Form Data for Studies of Global and Regional Seismicity

这项研究是为了继续这项有价值的计划，从全球数字地震数据中常规地编目质心矩张量(CMT)解。哈佛大学的CMT目录已经成为地震学界在全球构造研究中的重要资源。此外，还将研究远离瓦达蒂-贝尼奥夫带最强烈地震活动的深部大地震，以及更好的地震震源时间函数的参数化方法。这些研究是地震学研究和地震的起源和分布的基础。这项研究是国家减少地震灾害计划的一部分。

This research is to continue the valuable program to catalog centroid-moment tensor (CMT) solutions from global digital seismic data on a routine basis. The Harvard CMT catalog has become a significant resource for the seismological community in global tectonic studies. In addition, research will be done on large deep earthquakes lying away from the most intense seismic activity in Wadati-Benioff zones, and on better methods for parameterizing source time functions of earthquakes. These studies are fundamental to seismological research and the origin and distribution of earthquakes. This research is a component of the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program.
