Modeling deformation of a subduction zone using GPS
... The seismograms, record the arrivals of the compressional p , the shearing S and the rolling surface waves. Seismic waves travel at different rates, so the farther a seismic station is from an earthquake, the further apart the P, S, and surface-wave arrival times are. Here we show only direct P and ...

Surface wave inversion
Inversion is the set of methods used to infer properties through physical measurements. Surface wave inversion is the method by which elastic properties, density, and thickness of layers in the subsurface are attained through analysis of surface wavedispersion. The entire inversion process requires the gathering of seismic data, the creation of dispersion curves, and finally the inference of subsurface properties.
