Earthquakes are natural phenomena that cause awe but most importantly, many disasters at the same time. That is the reason why the science of seismology is very important, and its systematic study may possibly develop methods so that earthquakes can be predicted or more precisely to be warned in time.
This is a scenario (40 hrs of duation) composing of the following ones:
Earthquake Early Warning Systems and Seismic Waves signal processing with Python
Natural Disasters and Disaster Risk Management
Natural Disasters monitoring
Natural Disasters impact
Natural Disasters mitigation
Natural Disasters mitigation – Activity
What is Citizen Science and Disaster Citizen Science?
Earthquakes
Seismology overview – Historic events
Terminology and types of faults
Seismic Waves
Hypocenter and Epicenter
Epicenter – Epicenter activity
Earthquakes and Early Warning Systems (Alarm time)
Earthquakes and Early Warning Systems – Seismographs
Earthquakes and Early Warning Systems – Game
A test upon a real case study
Earthquakes and Early Warning Systems – Steps
