Geophysical Wave Propagation Calculation Using Multiphysics

The propagation of shear (S) and compression (P) waves within the Earth represents a critically important phenomenon for geologists. For many years, geologists have developed specialized computational programs to calculate wave propagation within complex geophysical regions. These programs have been instrumental in determining the location and characteristics of natural phenomena (e.g., earthquakes) and manmade activity (e.g., nuclear-blast tests).
