What will I learn?
This course provides a practical workflow for earthquake analysis, from processing raw seismograms to producing final reports. You will learn to identify P and S waves, estimate distances, locate hypocentres, and calculate magnitudes including ML, Mw, mb, and Ms. It covers wave propagation, attenuation, site effects, real data catalogues, uncertainty quantification, and clear communication of results.
