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

本研究将继续进行有价值的从全球数字地震数据中编目质心矩张量（CMT）解的程序。哈佛CMT目录已成为全球构造研究中地震学界的重要资源。此外，还将研究远离Wadati-Benioff地震活动最强烈地区的深层大地震，以及更好地参数化震源时间函数的方法。这些研究是地震学研究以及地震的起源和分布的基础。这项研究是国家减少地震危害计划的一个组成部分。

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.
