Seismology Course
This course equips geography and geology professionals with essential seismology skills for earthquake analysis. Learn to process seismograms, locate hypocenters, calculate magnitudes across scales like ML, Mw, mb, and Ms, assess site effects, and deliver clear reports for hazard assessment and decision-making in real-world scenarios.
