In September 1996, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the
Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), prohibiting nuclear
explosions worldwide, in all environments. The treaty calls for a
global verification system, including a network of 321 monitoring
stations distributed around the globe, a data communications
network, an international data centre (IDC), and on-site
inspections, to verify compliance. This volume contains research
papers focusing on seismic ecent location in the CTBT context. The
on-site inspection protocol of the treaty specifies a search area
not to exceed 1000 square km. Much of the current research effort
is therefore directed towards refining the accuracy of event
location by including allowances for three-dimensional structure
within the Earth. The aim is that the true location of each event
will lie within the specified source zone regarding postulated
location. The papers in this volume cover many aspects of seismic
event location, including the development of algorithms suitable
for use with three-dimensional models, allowances for regional
structure, use of calibration events and source-specific station
corrections. They provide a broad overview of the current
international effort to improve seismic event location accuracy,
and the editors hope that it will stimulate increased interest and
further advances in this important field.
