Goals for this project are to: numerically simulate wave propagation in layered crustal models with laterally-varying structure; Investigate seismic phases Pg and Pn; help understand the variability and complexity of these phases in recorded seismic data; and Use wavefield movies and "wavepaths" to suggest improvements for SALSA3D crustal tomography. In this presentation I will outline progress that has been made to date in an effort to modify a community research modeling code ("simulator")into a tool which can be used by GNDD researchers to study the effect of varying crustal velocity on wavefield propagation.
