Anatoli Levshin
Lecturer, Ph.D. Institute of Physics of the Earth, Moscow, USSR, 1962
D.Sc. Institute of Physics of the Earth, Moscow, USSR, 1971
Professor of Geophysics, Russian Academy of Sciences (on leave)
Anatoli Levshin is a member of the Geophysics Group.
Dr. Levshin's research has included work in the theory of
seismic wave generation and propagation in the Earth, as
well as analysis and interpretation of observed seismic
fields. Applications include earthquake seismology on global and
regional scale, nuclear nonproliferation, seismic prospecting for mineral
deposits, and environmental monitoring.
He is especially interested in seismic surface and channel
waves studies.
His research at CU is dedicated to the surface wave
tomography of the crust and lithosphere of Eurasia, Antarctica, and
South America.
