SEISMOLOGY AND GEODESY
(objectives)
The course aims to provide students with some fundamental theoretical concepts of seismology, the ability to understand the generation of earthquakes, the seismic wave propagation, the crustal deformation throughout the seismic cycle and the risks associated with seismic activity.

(syllabus)
Introduction to seismology and history of seismology. Generation and propagation of seismic waves: seismic source and seismic moment, scales of magnitudes, focal mechanisms, crustal propagation, site effects. Seismic signal and introduction to seismometry. The seismic cycle. Geodetic techniques applied to crustal deformation. Contribution of seismology to the study of tectonics and geodynamics. Seismic hazard and seismic zonation of the Italian territory. Tutorials: visit to the seismic monitoring system of the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia and in epicentral area. Field experiment.
