GOL 537 - Earthquake Seismology

Credit(s): 3

Concentration on introductory theories of earthquake seismology, interpretation of seismic data and its application in geophysics and engineering. The course also will prepare students of seismology for further study of earthquakes and Earth structure using seismograms while providing an overview of earthquake seismology for non-seismologists. Introductory mathematical seismology (stress-strain, reflection coefficients, ray theory, earthquake location, etc.), also will be reviewed. Some computer experience will be required for assignments.
