The course focuses on theoretical, computational and observational aspects of earthquake seismology.
The objective of course is to teach the fundamentals of seismic waves generation and propagation in seismology,
the physics of earthquake sources as well as the routine analysis of seismological data.
During the course students will write python codes to solve the following computational problems:
a) Modeling synthetic seismograms in a layered medium with reflectivity (plane SH wave)
b) Modeling of seismic wave propagation in 2D media using the finite difference equation
c) Modeling the dispersion curve of the fundamental mode of Rayleigh waves
d) Modeling seismic source spectra using the Brune model
e) Analysis of seismograms of real earthquakes
