ABSTRACT
In a great range of applications stretching from tectonophysicists’ interest in microcracks, frequency dependent attenuation and earthquake source mechanisms, civil engineers’ concerns with low modulus dam foundations, petroleum engineers’ interest in shear-wave anisotropy and the permeability of fractured reservoirs, or tunnelling engineers’ concerns with the approaching difficulties of a low velocity regional fault zone, the common use of seismic measurements unites many fields of earth science.
