What will I learn?
This Seismology Course gives you a clear, practical workflow for analyzing earthquakes from raw seismograms to final reports. Learn P and S picking, distance estimation, hypocenter location, and magnitude calculation using ML, Mw, mb, and Ms. Explore wave propagation, attenuation, and site effects, work with real catalogs, quantify uncertainty, and communicate technical results in accurate, actionable language.
