Seismology Course
This course equips geography and geology professionals with essential seismology skills for earthquake analysis. Participants learn to interpret seismograms, locate hypocentres, calculate magnitudes across scales like ML, Mw, mb, and Ms, evaluate site effects, and produce actionable reports for hazard assessment and decision-making in real-world scenarios.
