17th Munich Earth Skience School www.berghotel-sudelfeld.de 14-19 February 2027. ObsPy goes offshore – seismology on the seafloor Organization and contact: Heiner Igel (LMU Munich) and Thomas Lecocq (ROB Brussels). A video on a previous winter school in 2019 can be seen here. Practical information: Lectures, practicals will be given from 8:30-11 and after 3pm (open end). Between 11am and 3pm (depending on conditions)…
16th Munich Earth Skience School www.berghotel-sudelfeld.de 22-27 February 2026. (Image: J. Wassermann) ObsPy on the Rocks – Cryoseismology While our glaciers are under extreme stress, the understanding of their behavior, their properties, their flow characteristics is crucial. The analysis of seismic waves with modern instrumentation like large N arrays, DAS, rotation sensing plays an increasingly…
15th Munich Earth Skience School www.berghotel-sudelfeld.de 23 – 28 February, 2025 ObsPy goes Downtown: Seismology in Cities Seismologists used to stay away from noisy environments like cats avoid water. With the emergence of noise interferometry, novel instrumentation strategies like 6C sensor setups, or distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), cities have become an interesting target: There are several reasons: interferometry offers a…
14th Munich Earth Skience School www.berghotel-sudelfeld.de 3 – 8 March, 2024 The special topic will be volcano seismology. As usual the winterschool starts with updates and news on the ObsPy Python library (www.obspy.org). The lecturers will train aspects of volcano seismology including the use of 6C observations (rotations and translations), array methods, tremor analysis, polarization analysis,…
13th Munich Earth Skience School www.berghotel-sudelfeld.de 26 February – 3 March, 2023 This winter school will focus on the methodologies and applications in Environmental Seismology. By this term we mean the recovery of near-surface material changes as a function of time that may be related to stress changes, varying fluid content, temperature, etc. The training will…
12th Munich Earth Skience School www.berghotel-sudelfeld.de 13-18 March, 2022 THE MEETING HAD TO BE CANCELED DUE TO COVID We hope to be back in 2022 with another exciting winter school! The topic of Skience in 2022 will be open community scientific software training, development, and maintenance. In addition to classic training of some open software (like ObsPy, specfem, seissol and others) we…
11th Munich Earth Skience School www.berghotel-sudelfeld.de 21-26 February, 2021 The Skience Winter School in 2021 was canceled due to the Covid situation. We will be back in 2022! Contact: Heiner Igel (LMU Munich)
10th Munich Earth Skience School www.berghotel-sudelfeld.de 16-21 February, 2020 This winter school will focus on methodologies relevant to inverse problems in Earth Sciences. As usual we will combine theory with practicals using the Python language and Jupyter notebooks. As always we start with a short introduction to Python/ObsPy with a focus on new features. Detailed programme will be published in late autumn…
9th Munich Earth Skience School Berghotel Sudelfeldwww.berghotel-sudelfeld.de 17-22 February, 2019 This winter school will focus on the use of machine learning in Earth Sciences with specific applications to seismology. As usual we will combine theory with practicals using the Python language and Jupyter notebooks. The machine learning part will make use of the scikit-learn (scikit-learn.org) tools and/or…
8th Munich Earth Skience School Berghotel Sudelfeldwww.berghotel-sudelfeld.de March 4-9, 2018. ObsPy meets the slopes! Dense multi-component seismic networks allow the reconstruction of wavefield gradients by finite-differencing providing additional opportunities to reconstruct the wavefield, or recovering subsurface wave speeds. Alternatively, gradients (or related motion components) can be measured directly, for example, by observing rotational ground motions (broadband…
