The argument on seismology is a rather narrow one.
The scientists have done long-term work in geophysics, oceanography and seismology.
For instance, they think we ought to do better in optical astronomy and seismology; in pure mathematics and oceanography.
The pace of advance in seismology is fast at present and will increase.
Detection, identification and quantification of underground nuclear explosions must be based on seismology.
Seismology still has plenty to tell us about how the world is constructed, even if it repeatedly falters in calling the next big one.
It is ideal for a comprehensive first course in seismology, and it is well suited for teaching an overview of seismology within a limited time period.
The third chapter covers some of the basic principles of seismology, including field equipment and methods.
