Course Objectives		1. To provide the students with basic understanding of theory of seismology. 2. To give insight into the Earth’s interior structure inferred form seismology. 3. To train the students on how earthquake parameters are calculated. 4. To develop skills for acquisition, processing and interpretation of seismological data
Course Description		This intoductory course on seismology provides the students with the fundamental theory of seismic waves and focuses on how seismological observations are used for the purpose of understanding the internal structure of the Earth. Topics covered are: theory of elasticity, wave equations, body and surface waves, seismology and structure of the earth, seismic waves in spherical earth, determination of earthquake properties, faults and faulting mechanism, seismicity, seismotectonics, engineering seismology and other seismic phenomena.
Course Outcomes		1. Have the students gain knowledge on the application of basic sciences, basic engineering sciences and earth sciences for the solution of geophysical engineering problems. 2. Increase students’ capability to process the collected geophysical data by means of modern hardware and software facilities of information technologies. 3. Improve the students’ ability to interpret the processed geophysical data by using multi-disciplinary approach.
