这是一个开发廉价计算程序的项目 合成地震记录在分层各向异性介质中，使用 首席研究员最近的理论研究结果 各向异性介质中波传播的研究 两个程序 将被开发。 其中一个适合研究地壳 反射、折射和地震体波分析; 另一个用于模态传播的快速计算。 后者 技术在长期岩石圈研究中将是有价值， 海洋区域，并将使波形反转， 各向异性介质更容易。 这项研究直接适用于 了解地震波在海洋地壳中的传播。

This is a project to develop inexpensive programs for computing synthetic seismograms in stratified anisotropic media, using the results of the principal investigator's recent theoretical research on wave propagation in anisotropic media. Two programs would be developed. One would be suitable for studying crustal reflection, refraction, and earthquake body wave analysis; the other for rapid computation of modal propagation. The latter technique would be valuable in long range lithosphere studies of oceanic regions and would make wave form inversion for anisotropic media easier. This study is directly applicable to understanding seismic wave propagation in the oceanic crust.
