(a.) View of the mantle below the Pacific, warm colors denote slower than average seismic wavespeeds. Cold colors denote faster than average seismic wavespeeds associated with subduction zones. (b.) With three-dimensional tomography, scientists can isolate vertical as well as horizontal slices of the mantle.

Welcome to Theoretical & Computational Seismology
The Theoretical & Computational Seismology Research Group is focused on imaging Earth's interior. One of their missions is to develop and maintain open-source software for simulations of acoustic, (an)elastic and poroelastic wave propagation. The research group is currently addressing imaging problems in exploration geophysics, regional and global seismology, and helioseismology. Members work on various theoretical, computational and observational aspects of forward and inverse problems in seismology. We always welcome applications from potential graduate students and postdocs.
