Seismological equipment
Description: The course covers the study of regulatory requirements, design features, and principles of operation of seismological equipment and electronic systems for recording seismic activity. It explores the characteristics of modern models of seismometers, geophones, and sensors used in monitoring and security systems, as well as seismic signal recorders utilized either autonomously or as part of automated monitoring systems. These systems are used to conduct seismic and seismological research through various methods, including refracted and reflected waves, deep-sea seismic sounding, and earthquake exchange waves. The course also examines the methods and principles for operating modern seismic stations, along with the components of auxiliary equipment. It equips students with the skills to organize and conduct seismological observations, and to prepare initial data and equipment for research purposes.
