Quantitative Seismology

Quantitative Seismology is the scientific study of earthquakes and seismic waves using mathematical and statistical methods. It aims to understand the occurrence, propagation, and effects of these waves produced by seismic events. By analyzing data from seismographs, researchers can quantify the strength, location, and depth of earthquakes, as well as predict potential impacts. This field helps improve earthquake preparedness, infrastructure design, and risk assessment by providing a clearer understanding of seismic behavior and the Earth’s internal structure. Ultimately, it seeks to enhance safety and resilience in earthquake-prone areas.
