1 Title: Seismic waves in inhomogeneous, weakly dissipative, anisotropic media Author: Mgr. Miłosz Wcisło Department: Department of Geophysics Supervisor of the doctoral thesis: RNDr. Ivan Pšenčík, CSc Abstract: The thesis consists of two parts: theoretical and part devoted to applications. In the theoretical part, it is shown that the so-called Weak Attenuation Concept (WAC), in which attenuation is considered as a perturbation of a reference elastic state, guarantees applicability of the ray method to most models of realistic, laterally varying layered, isotropic or anisotropic attenuative media. This conclusion follows from comparisons of ray results with an independent full-wave method, which is, unfortunately, applicable only to isotropic media. Another important finding is that the so-called correspondence principle, broadly used in studies of attenuative media, must be used with care because in some situations, it may lead to incorrect results. In the part devoted to applications, the important results are presentations of successful applications of the peak-frequency method. The method is shown to be a useful tool in studying attenuation using microseismic events. It allows relatively simple estimate of the so-called global attenuation factor t*, from which estimates of attenuation can be made. In...

Rychlé interferenční vlny a 1D seismické modely kůry
Vackář, Jiří ; Zahradník, Jiří (advisor) ; Prokop Brokešová, Johana (referee)
A recent shallow earthquake in the Corinth Gulf, Greece (Mw 5.3) generated unusual long-period waves (periods > 5 seconds) between the P- and S-wave arrival. The 5-second period, being significantly longer than the source duration, indicates a structural effect. Observed seismograms were examined by methods of the frequency-time analysis. Disper- sion curves of the fast long-period (FLP) waves indicated group velocities ranging from 3 to 5.5 km/s for periods between 4 and 10 s, respectively, with large variations among the stations. The generalized dispersion curve splits into two major strips, probably related to lateral variations of the crustal structure. Forward simulations for several existing crustal models were made. A few partially successful models served for a sensitivity study, which showed that the FLP wave seemed to be mainly due to the low-velocity layers in the uppermost 4 kilometers of the crust. Finally the shallow crustal structure was retrieved by inverting observed seismograms by Neighborhood algorithm. The inversion confirmed that the FLP wave in seismograms at more than a single station cannot be explained with a 1-D crustal model. The path-dependent models provided a partial explanation for the strips revealed in the experimental dispersion curves. An alternative explanation is by...
