	Objectives
	KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF SEISMOLOGY TO UNDERSTAND THE PHYSICAL PROCESSES THAT GENERATE EARTHQUAKES, IN ORDER TO DEVELOP NEW IDEAS ON THE STUDY OF SEISMIC PHENOMENA. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO ACQUIRE ADEQUATE TECHNICAL EXPERTISE ON SEISMIC OBSERVATION AND EARTHQUAKES MEASUREMENT, AS WELL AS ON THE ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF EXPERIMENTAL MEASURES OF SISMOLOGICAL TYPE.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF SEISMOLOGY TO UNDERSTAND THE PHYSICAL PROCESSES THAT GENERATE EARTHQUAKES, IN ORDER TO DEVELOP NEW IDEAS ON THE STUDY OF SEISMIC PHENOMENA.

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO ACQUIRE ADEQUATE TECHNICAL EXPERTISE ON SEISMIC OBSERVATION AND EARTHQUAKES MEASUREMENT, AS WELL AS ON THE ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF EXPERIMENTAL MEASURES OF SISMOLOGICAL TYPE.

	Prerequisites
	THE KNOWLEDGE OF TOPICS COVERED IN THE BASIC AND EARTH PHYSICS COURSES IS REQUIRED.

	Contents
	THE COURSE HAS THE GOAL OF MAKING THE STUDENT ABLE TO ASSIMILATE THE THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED AND KNOW HOW TO SOLVE A WIDE SPECTRUM OF SEISMOLOGICAL PROBLEMS: ELASTICITY AND SEISMIC WAVES. STRESS AND STRAIN. EQUATION OF MOTION. WAVE EQUATIONS. BODY AND SURFACE WAVES. RAY THEORY. EIKONAL EQUATION. SEISMIC INSTRUMENTATION. SEISMIC SOURCE. FAULTS. MAGNITUDE AND SEISMIC MOMENT. CINEMATICS AND DINAMICS OF SISMOGENTIC PROCESSES FOCAL MECHANISMS. SEISMOGRAMS INTERPRETATION. SEISMIC HAZARD AND RISK. SEISMICITY OF THE APENNINE CHAIN INDUCED AND TRIGGERED SEISMICITY
