... - Much of what we know comes from the study of earthquake waves as they pass through Earth. There are two basic kinds of Earthquake waves: P-waves that compress the rock as they pass, and S-waves that shear the rock. P-waves can pass through any material, while S-waves can only pass through solids. ...

... The S-wave receiver function (SRF) method isolates the S-to-P (Sp) conversions from seismic discontinuities beneath a station. A converted Sp phase is generated when an incoming S phase crosses a velocity discontinuity beneath a seismic station and is converted to a P wave. The SRFs represent a res ...

Earthscope
Earthscope is an earth science program using geological and geophysical techniques to explore the structure and evolution of the North American continent and to understand the processes controlling earthquakes and volcanoes. The project has three components: USARRAY, the Plate Boundary Observatory, and the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth.The project is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the data produced is publicly accessible in real-time. Organizations associated with the project include UNAVCO, the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), Stanford University, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Several international organizations also contribute to the initiative.
