The main goal of the course is to make students familiar with modern applications of Volcanic Seismology and the effect of complex mechanisms of volcanic activation on seismic recordings is recognized. At the completion of the semester, students will be able to use specialized seismic software and participate in research groups. The course emphasizes the applied part of Science in a way that equips students with skills necessary for the modern job market.
Introduction to Volcanic Seismology; Spatio-temporal patterns of seismicity in volcanic environments; Spectral analysis of seismic signals from tectonic and volcanic environments; Classification of volcanic seismic signals based on waveforms and frequency content; Differentiations between open and closed volcanic systems; Stress field variations in volcanic environments; Focal mechanisms in volcanic environments (ISO, CLVD); Seismic anisotropy in volcanic environments; Fundamentals of seismic tomography (data selection, parameterization, evaluation, interpretation); Applications of passive seismic tomography in volcanic environments; Time-varying (4D) seismic tomography in volcanic environments; Seismic wave attenuation tomography; Methods of volcanic crisis prediction and management; Early warning systems and their integration in an operational context.
