About the course
The course covers different seismological methods (analysis of ambient noise and surface waves, regional and teleseismic tomography, receiver functions and shear wave splitting) used to investigate the structure of the Earth on a regional scale. The methodological principles, parametrisations of models and applications of specific inverse methods for some of the most widely applied seismological methods are covered. Interpretation and analysis of models, including their uncertainties and limitations, are reviewed.
