The students are expected to understand the principles of Forensic Seismology, and the main applications. They furthermore gain a basic understanding of acoustic wave propagation in the ocean and the athmosphere (hydroacoustics and infrasound).The students will also learn how to present scientific material.
The course consists mainly of lectures; every student will have occasion to present a scientific topic within the range of course subjects.The course will be structured into the following lecture groups:
- Basics of Forensic Seismology
- The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Context
- Hydroacoustics
- Infrasound
- More seismology and acoustics
- Induced Seismicity
