Seismology, as a scientific discipline, has made significant strides in its evolution. It encompasses the study of seismic waves and their associated phenomena, transcending traditional boundaries and entering a multidisciplinary realm. As the primary tool for exploration, seismology offers a wealth of information when applied systematically to delve into the Earth's structure. However, the utility of seismic waves has expanded exponentially.

From simply identifying the epicenter of seismic events, they have influenced the mapping of civil engineering structures such as dams and bridges, as well as massive constructions. While there exists a substantial body of technical papers in the field of seismic waves, there is a notable absence of synchronized and up-to-date coherent content in the direction of seismic waves.

To address this gap, the book aims to make a unique contribution to seismology. Its primary objective is to assimilate theory and practices, providing a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in this field while strongly unifying theory and practices. The central goal of the book is to present an in-depth analysis of the theory and practical implementations of seismic waves as versatile probes that can be integrated with modern and future perspectives.

Furthermore, the book will discuss current and future strategies related to seismic waves in various relevant areas, offering valuable insights to readers. This book is designed to cater to the needs of novices, researchers, and practitioners alike. Additionally, its contents will be of immense value to undergraduate and postgraduate students studying earth science disciplines.

Seismology has come a long way, and its multidisciplinary nature has opened up new avenues for exploration and understanding of the Earth's dynamic processes. With the publication of this book, we hope to contribute to the advancement of seismology and provide valuable insights to a broader audience.
