Numerical simulation of seismic waves in the regional and global earth with 3D Gaussian quadrature grids

考虑到所有内部和表面的复杂性，能够真实地模拟地震波在全球三维地球中的传播，这对于预测地震反应和对内部结构成像非常重要。这将带来关于地球构成和异质性的基本新知识，并将在其他领域产生附带效益，例如勘探石油和矿物，以及更好地了解地震危害。数值模拟和地震数据分析将在超级计算机上完成，从而为研究生提供重要的训练。

The ability to realistically model the propagation of seismic waves through the global 3D earth, taking account of all internal and surface complexity, is extremely important for predicting the response to earthquakes and imaging the interior structure. This will lead to fundamental new knowledge on Earth constitution and heterogeneity, and will have spin-off benefits in others areas such as exploring for oil and minerals, and better understanding of seismic hazard. The numerical modelling and seismic data analysis will be done on a supercomputer, thus providing important training for research students.
