3-D seismic wave propagation through subduction zones
Previous
work
in collaboration with Heiner Igel
and Gunnar Jahnke, published
in Phys. Earth Planet. Inter. under "Wave
propagation
in 3-D
spherical sections: Effects of subduction zones", 2002; and part of
my Diplom thesis.
My
3-D finite difference code for spherical sections has been extended by Andreas
Fichtner to include visco-elasticity, radial anisotropy and 3-D
parallelization (rather than 1-D); and is freely available through the SPICE network.
More
recently, I am working with Michael
Thorne on applying this method to specific regions of interests
regarding curious wave effects from slabs such as those beneath Alaska
or
Mexico.
