There are hundreds of large earthquakes occurring globally every year,
these earthquakes generate seismic waves that travel through the deep
interior of the earth. Ground motions recorded by seismometers are the
most direct observations on the Earth's interior for understanding
the dynamics of the planet that are responsible for past tectonic
events as well as present-day natural hazards including earthquakes
and volcanoes.
At Virginia Tech Global Seismological Lab, we study seismic wave propagation
in complex earth media and seismic structure of the Earth's interior.
