20410482 - PHYSICS OF EARTHQUAKES Earthquake physics Earthquake physics

This course is dedicated to the seismological and geodetic study of the Earthquake source and to seismic hazard. The students will be introduced to theoretical concepts and their applications, with a particular care on seismicity of our peninsula

Curriculum

teacher profile | teaching materials

Programme

The course aims to provide students with the theoretical and experimental concepts for understanding the earthquake generation through the seismological and geodetic studies of the seismic source and the crustal deformation associated with the seismic cycle, with particular attention to the seismicity of our peninsula.
It will also deal with issues related to microzonation, seismic hazard and its application in seismic codes and regulations, as well as practical experiments for the acquisition and analysis of seismic and geodetic data.
