What will I learn?
This Seismology Course provides a straightforward, hands-on workflow for earthquake analysis, from processing raw seismograms to producing final reports. Master P and S wave picking, distance estimation, hypocenter location, and magnitude calculations using ML, Mw, mb, and Ms methods. Delve into wave propagation, attenuation, site effects, real catalog data handling, uncertainty quantification, and clear communication of technical findings for practical use.
