Major (Course): Earthquake Seismology

Program: Master

Introduction:

Geophysics is an application of the methods and techniques of physics in the study of the Earth. A geophysicist uses seismic, electrical, electromagnetic, and potential fields to probe the inaccessible subsurface. Earthquake seismology is an important branch of geophysics. Earthquake seismology is the study of earthquakes and the structure of the earth using naturally seismic waves. Seismologist can study how these waves move and affect the earth to learn the nature of the earth deep below the surface, where it cant be directly reached. Earthquake Seismology of Earth Sciences department was established in 2009. We study earthquakes and the Earths interior at all scales, by extracting information from elastic waves emitted by earthquakes, seismic noise or active sources, recorded at global and regional seismic networks. Our work is methodological, computational, and observational and it also includes elements of interpretation.
