After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

• choose a suitable instrumentation for seismic experiments
• determine the influence of the instruments on the recorded data and reduce it if needed
• design the station layout for seismic experiments
• detect seismic events
• localize seismic events and compute the magnitude

• seismic sensors
• analog-digital conversion
• seismic data recording
• seismic waves and ground motion
• detection and location of earthquakes
• characterization of seismic sources (magnitude, source spectrum)
• seismic networks and arrays

• Lab examples following the topics of the lecture.
• Discussion of theoretic topics using case studies.
• Demonstration of seismic sensors and data recorders.
• Usage of Python and Jupyter notebooks within the lab examples.

Written lab examples during the semester.

Oral exam at the end of the semester.

Knowledge of the topics covered by the lectures seismic exploration and fundamentals of geophysics.

Basic computer programming knowledge is needed to accomplish the lab excersices. The programming language of choice is Python using the Jupyter Notebook (https://jupyter.org/).
