Beschreibung
This Work offers a unique coverage of modern seismic instrumentation. It provides not only detailed information on the basic understanding of seismic instruments but it also includes an overview of current equipment on the market.
Furthermore, the following topics are included:
installing seismic stations, networks and arrays
working with portable instruments
calibrating instruments
dealing with response information
and teaching about seismic instruments
This book is primarily intended for seismologists and technicians working with seismological instruments. The aim is that it should be used as a practical tool with only the amount of theory needed to understand the basic principles and the answers to most practical problems should be found here.
This book is written in such a way that it is understandable for a broad range of professionals working with seismological instruments and seismic data, whether students, engineers or seismologists. Both practical and theoretical topics are covered with the main emphasis on practical aspects. The book is based on the authors (seismologist and physicist) experience working in this field for more than 25 years.
Here is unique and comprehensive coverage of modern seismic instrumentation, based on the authors’ practical experience of a quarter-century in seismology and geophysics. Their goal is to provide not only detailed information on the basics of seismic instruments but also to survey equipment on the market, blending this with only the amount of theory needed to understand the basic principles. Seismologists and technicians working with seismological instruments will find here the answers to their practical problems. Instrumentaion in Earthquake Seismology is written to be understandable to the broad range of professionals working with seismological instruments and seismic data, whether students, engineers or seismologists. Whether installing seismic stations, networks and arrays, working and calibrating stationary or portable instruments, dealing with response information, or teaching about seismic instruments, professionals and academics now have a practical and authoritative sourcebook.
First comprehensive book that describes all aspects of instrumentation in earthquake seismology, in a sense the first general users' manual in the field Deals primarily with seismic sensors, their response functions, and how to calibrate and optimize the instruments

From the reviews:
“Authors have managed remarkably well, creating an excellent textbook on seismological instrumentation. … The book is directed to anyone working in earthquake seismology … . The book also may be useful to hardware servicemen and hardware designers … valuable for outlining the basic principles and most common instrumentation properties and constitutes a ready reference source. … the book will retain its value for many years and should find its place on a shelf at every institution that maintains a modern seismic station, array or network.” (Pawel Wiejacz, Pure and Applied Geophysics, Vol. 166, 2009)()
