German-Chinese training course 2010 'Seismology and Seismic Hazard Assessment II'

The GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences offers two German-Chinese Training Courses on 'Seismology and Seismic Hazard Assessment,’ in cooperation with China. The courses aim at improving the earthquake hazard assessment and risk estimation through training on seismological analysis methods. They provide theoretical fundamentals and practical training in applied seismology, especially for geoscientists and engineers from the Chinese provinces. During the follow up training course in 2010 education deepens to insight into seismology, seismogram analysis, the precise analysis of earthquake locations and earthquake magnitudes, the source process, microzonation, and the calculation and interpretation of the regional earthquake hazard risk. The courses are sponsored by the German foreign office.
