Earthquake forecast
Description: This course develops knowledge and skills in the field of earthquake forecasting. It covers the study of modern research methods for seismogenic structures, determining the expected maximum magnitude of earthquakes within them, the frequency of seismic events, and assessing the intensity of seismic impacts on geological formations of the upper Earth’s crust and the technospheric safety of facilities. It also includes mapping for seismic zoning to reflect potential hazard sources and the intensity of future earthquakes, seismic monitoring, and modern equipment used in earthquake forecasting. The course will introduce you to current types of seismic zoning and will promote the value of inclusion processes. You will gain an understanding of source material collection, preparation, and primary data processing.

Goal
- To provide with knowledge of the theoretical foundations, methods, and approaches to short-, medium-, and long-term earthquake prediction, as well as to develop skills in analyzing precursors and assessing seismic hazards.
Objective
