German-Chinese Courses

German-Chinese Training Courses ‘Seismology and Seismic Hazard Assessment’

The GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences realises two German-Chinese Training Courses in 2009 and 2010 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 training course education focuses on 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 and risk. The courses are sponsored by the German Foreign Office.
