Abstract
The research is focused primarily on the fundamental issues of high-frequency seismic wave propagation in complex 3-D isotropic and anisotropic structures, which go beyond the traditional approaches. The ray method and its extensions, as well as its combination with other methods are mainly applied and investigated.
The emphasis is put on new, stable, more efficient and flexible algorithms for both forward numerical modelling and inversion of seismic wave fields in 3-D inhomogeneous, isotropic or anisotropic, elastic or attenuating structures. Considerable attention is also devoted to applications involving S waves, converted waves, S-wave splitting and coupling in anisotropic media, particle ground motions, etc.
