Seismology Course
This course equips geography and geology professionals with essential seismology skills for earthquake analysis, from interpreting seismograms and locating hypocenters to calculating magnitudes across scales like ML, Mw, mb, and Ms, while understanding tectonic contexts, site effects, and uncertainty for effective hazard reporting and decision-making in real-world scenarios.

from 4 to 360h flexible workload
