URBASIS Training Course - Instruments and Data


Instruments and Data
Online platform, 7- 10 June 2021
Lectures given by Peter Evans (GFZ), Benjamin Heit (GFZ), Laura Hillman (GFZ), Javier Quinteros (GFZ), Angelo Strollo (GFZ), Dino Bindi (GFZ), Riccardo Zaccarelli (GFZ), Fabrice Cotton (GFZ), Phillipe Guéguen (UGA) & Pierre Boué (UGA)


Introduction of the course
The training is organized into 4 modules providing an introduction to different aspects related to the seismic data cycle, from field work activities, to procedures for data archiving and discovery, to typical steps followed for data download and processing. Examples of applications of interest for urban seismology are presented and discussed as well.
