2 Seismic waves composed of Source effects –Resulting from nucleation of earthquake Path effects –Geometric spreading and anelastic attenuation with distance from hypocentre Site effects –Amplification due to near surface rock/soil

3 Purpose Measure attenuation due to uppermost 2 km of a hard rock site Frequency dependence of transmission to surface Free surface effects Measuring source effects of small earthquakes Teleseismic effects

4 Earthquakes happen all the time at 2:20 pm

5 Run Seismic Waves Seismic Sources…
