Course objectives
Practical aspects of seismogram processing and interpretation. Designed for students with good results in the course of Physics of Earth and with a serious interest in detailed knowledge of seismogram processing. The number of students will be limited, therefore, students having seismologically oriented diploma thesis will be preferably accepted.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student will be able to understand the seismologic data and will be able to adequately evaluate them.
