Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

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 athmosphere (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 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
- The Baumgarten accident in Niederösterreich
