Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The aim of the course is to make students understand the principles of Forensic Seismology, and its main applications. They furthermore gain a basic understanding of acoustic wave propagation in the ocean and the atmosphere (hydroacoustics and infrasound)
The students will also learn to give independent presentations of scientific material.
The course consists mainly of lectures; every student will have occasion to present a scientific paper within the range of the courses.

The course will be structured into the following lecture groups:
- Basics of Forensic Seismology
- Nuclear Verification
- Infrasound
- More seismology, acoustics, and seismoacoustics
- Hydroacoustics
