Cancelled Advanced Seismology
Course content
The course will cover several aspects of global earthquake seismology and applied refraction- and reflection seismology. The focus will be on mathematical and numerical aspects of seismology, including seismic sources, elasticity theory, wave propagation, ray theories, seismic tomography, imaging, waveform inversion, seismic signal analysis and data processing.
MSc Programme in Geology-Geoscience
MSc Programme in Physics
