	AGU: Seismology Section Home page
		The Seismology Section is concerned with the study of the Earth's internal structure, its deep interior and dynamics, how the Earth was formed, and the physical phenomena that cause earthquakes.
		Seismology attracts considerable public interest and support because of its contributions to society in mitigating earthquake hazards, monitoring nuclear explosions both for military intelligence and arms control, and finding oil.
		Now that seismology is a data-based science, modern seismology has many opportunities for people who take an analytical approach to the geophysical sciences, such as those skilled in classical physics, applied mathematics, time series analysis, and computer sciences.

	Seismology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seismology (from the Greek seismos = earthquake and logos = word) is the scientific study of earthquakes and the movement of waves through the Earth.
		Various attempts have been made by seismologists and others to create effective systems for precise earthquake predictions, including the VAN method.
		Such methods have yet to be generally accepted in the seismology community.

		The contribution to seismology of the Society of Jesus as an institution through its colleges and universities and of its members as individual scientists forms an important chapter of the history of this science, especially in the early years of its development.
		The character of seismology as a public service to mitigate the destructive effects of earthquakes was another influential factor.
		Travel times of seismic waves, the constitution of the interior of the Earth, and the nature of microseisms and their relation to atmospheric storms were a few of the topics of his research papers.

	U.S. Educational Seismology Network
		The initiative is built on the premise that educational seismology offers a special opportunity for capturing a student's innate curiosity for natural phenomena in the world around them and that this curiosity can be used as a platform from which a wealth of fundamental principles of physics and earth sciences can be taught.
		Seismology can be used as a 'hook' and a starting point for teaching fundamental concepts and skills through investigation of real scientific problems with real data.
		Among the current educational seismology programs, the mechanisms for contributing data to and maintaining a data archive are highly heterogeneous, often cumbersome and frequently reliant on manual methods of data transmission and archiving.

	Reflection seismology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reflection seismology or seismic reflection is a branch of seismology that uses reflected seismic waves to produce images of the Earth's subsurface.
		Reflection seismology is extensively used in exploration for hydrocarbons (i.e., petroleum, natural gas) and other resources as coal, ores and minerals, geothermal.
		In the case of reflection seismology, the experimental data are recorded seismograms, and the desired result is a model of the structure and physical properties of the Earth's crust.

	Quake: Seismology
		Seismology is the study of earthquakes and the Earth using seismic waves.
		From recordings of earthquake-generated waves, information about the earthquake source may be derived, including its magnitude, location, time of occurrence, depth, and its orientation and movement on the fault.
		The related field of strong motion seismology uses waves from large earthquakes to study the earthquake source in detail, predict the strength of future shaking, establish safer building codes and improve seismic engineering design.

		The reduction of reports on the less studied phases is a serious loss; these are precisely those that may lead to more knowledge about the structure of the Earth.
		Many of the great advances in seismology have been made by "special studies" in which the research worker collects the original records from the stations and reads them himself.
		He was mainly a geologist and claimed that he was not really interested in seismology.

	Seismology
		Not only earthquake seismology owes much to Jesuit research, but even more indebted is the field of seismic prospecting, now 60 years old which claims as one of its chief authorities and organizers, Daniel Linehan, S.J. who first put the theories of shallow refraction into practice.
		In the United States the entry of Jesuits into seismology owes its origin to a Jesuit Physics teacher at John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio, Frederick Odenbach (1857-1933) who conceived the idea of creating a Jesuit network of seismographic stations across North America which would report to the International Center in Strasbourg.
		One measure of the contribution of Jesuits in seismology is given by the number of Jesuit stations, which became part of the World Wide Standard Network (WWSSN) established in 1962.
