| Traveltimes with Adam | ||
| "Traveltimes, etc. with Adam" is a collection of both original handwritten
notes as well as computer generated graphs. The notes themselves are contained within a
red loose leaf binder. While most of the notes come from by himself, a couple pages
are by Adam Baig, a Ph.D. student who worked with Dahlen at Princeton.
Baig presented his thesis in September of 2003. It was titled "Wavefront Healing in Random Media."
The contents of this collection recount Dahlen's work with velocity fields and ray theory, ultimately seeking to further perfect the idea of solving the inverse problem of traveltimes, which refers to the notion of discovering properties of the Earth based on how long it takes for earthquake signals to get to various seismometers around the globe. This collection can be found at: Guyot Hall, Princeton, NJ, 08544. Back to Main Page |
