13th Munich Earth Skience School

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 focus on methodologies (e.g., coda-wave interferometry) that allow the recovery of ground velocity changes at all scales (laboratory, near surface, crustal) including gradient observations (rotations, strain). Applications may include volcanology, hydrogeology, geothermal projects, engineering applications, bioseismology and others. As always we start with a section of Python/ObsPy introduction with a focus on new features. |
Evidence for climate-change related velocity changes at the summit of Mt. Zugspitze, Germany, from single-station seismic measurement using interferometric techniques (Lindner et al., 2021). |

Lecturers/Tutors (tentative): Fabian Lindner (LMU Munich), Felix Bernauer (LMU), Joachim Wassermann (LMU), Thomas Lecoq (ROB Brussels), Chris Bean (DIAS, Dublin), Tarje Nissen-Meyer (Univ. Oxford), Shujuan Mao (Stanford University)
Organization and contact: Heiner Igel (LMU Munich)
Practical information: Lectures, practicals will be given from 8-11 and after 3pm (open end). Between 11am and 3pm (depending on conditions) winter sports facilities can be used (www.sudelfeld.de). More info on the winter sport programme can be found here.
Philosophy: This workshop combines the thrill of learning, studying, and practicing seismology and new methodologies, with the thrill of wintersports and being out in nature. Beware that the hotel is isolated in the mountains, no shopping, little to no public transport to anywhere. WLAN is available free of charge at the hotel. Note that we provide half pension only, in the ski area (within walking distance) there are restaurants where lunch is available.
Costs: 650 € (incl. 5 days half pension, conference facilities, tuition, software). Arrival Sunday February 26 leaving Fri March 3rd (lunch time). Note that the costs do not cover: lunch, drinks during meals, winter sport facilities. The number of participants is limited to ~40. First come, first serve basis. The area can be reached by train from Munich Airport (terminal station: Bayrischzell). Please note that there are only a few single rooms. You are encouraged to (or might be forced to) sharing a double room.
Pre-Registration: For expression of interest please fill in the form here.
Logistics: Please make your way to Bayrischzell Station on Sunday February 26 afternoon, unless you come with your own vehicle. We will provide a shuttle service from the train station to the hotel. More information shortly before the workshop.
