Abstract

Desire to understand the physics of natural grandeur and the beauty of wave theories brought me to geophysics and seismology. Advancements in theory, practice, and instrumentation have allowed seismologists to unravel the mysteries carried by seismic waves and to use the acquired knowledge for the benefit of society.
