Jeroen Tromp joined the Division
of Geological and Planetary Sciences
and the Seismological
Laboratory in 2000. His primary research areas are in theoretical
and computational seismology. Research topics include: surface waves,
free oscillations, and body waves, seismic tomography, numerical simulations
of 3-D wave propagation in sedimentary basins and the entire globe,
and seismic hazard assessment. In collaboration with Professor F.A.
Dahlen from Princeton University he published the book "Theoretical
Global Seismology".
