Abstract
This volume presents a comprehensive, worldwide history of seismological
studies of the Earth's crust using controlled sources from 1850 to
2005. Essentially all major seismic projects on land and the most
important oceanic projects are presented. The time period of 1850
to 1939 is presented as a general synthesis, and from 1940 onward
the history and results are subdivided into a separate chapter for
each decade, with the material ordered by geographical region. Each
chapter highlights the major advances achieved during that decade
in terms of data acquisition, processing technology, and interpretation
methods. For all major seismic projects, we provide specific details
regarding the field observations, interpreted crustal cross section,
and key references. We conclude with global and continental scale
maps of all field measurements and interpreted Moho contours. An
accompanying DVD contains important out-of-print publications and
an extensive collection of controlled-source data, location maps,
and crustal cross sections.
