Dynamic instrumentation and seismic monitoring

What you will learn

The course provides a comprehensive and practical overview of components, selection criteria, and verification and maintenance procedures, promoting informed and technically correct use of instrumentation in operational settings.

• Module 1: Dynamic acquisition units and recording system architecture
  The first module introduces the hardware architecture of dynamic data acquisition units, analysing their main components and technical specifications.
• Module 2: Seismic sensors (seismometers)
  The second module explores the technologies underpinning velocity sensors, focusing on short-period, broadband, and borehole seismometers.
• Module 3: Seismic sensors (accelerometers)
  The third module is dedicated to accelerometers, with a comparative analysis of the main available technologies: MEMS, IEPE, and Force Balance.
• Module 4: In-person practical session at Solgeo
  The fourth module, entirely hands-on, will take place at the Solgeo headquarters and will be dedicated to direct inspection and practical work with the instrumentation.
