Forensic Explosion Seismology

Technologies and Applications

Edited By: So Gu Kim

£65.99

This book discusses active source seismology, focusing on the technologies and applications for underwater, nuclear, and chemical explosions. It presents seismological investigations for discriminating between earthquakes and man-made explosions for defense sciences.

This book discusses three major physical phenomena for active source seismology, namely underwater explosions, underground nuclear explosions, and large-scale on-surface chemical explosions. In particular, contributors consider how to use the technologies and applications in active source seismology and seismo-acoustics, rather than the theoretical approach for the resolution of the forensic explosion seismology in the light of an application for defense sciences. The volume also presents seismological investigations of discrimination between earthquakes and man-made explosions.
