Earthquake Displacement Fields and the Rotation of the Earth A NATO Advanced Study Institute

The seeds of this conference were sown with the publication by Press, in 1965, of a paper in which he suggested that the displacement field due to a major earthquake may extend over much greater distances than had been thought possible before. Later on, Mansinha and Smylie pointed out that if Press...
