Seismology Course
This course equips geography and geology professionals with essential seismology skills for real-world use. Learn to analyse seismograms, locate earthquake hypocentres, calculate magnitudes across scales like ML, Mw, mb, Ms, assess site effects, and communicate findings effectively in bulletins, maps, and reports for hazard assessment and informed decisions.

What will I learn?
Gain practical skills in 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. Understand wave propagation, attenuation, site effects, handle real data catalogs, quantify uncertainties, and present results clearly for decision-making.
