This repository documents the skills and knowledge gained from the 2025 Seismology Skill Building Workshop. It also includes the scripts, notebooks and figures developed during the program. The program focused on hands-on training in scientific computing, data analysis, and seismological applications, equipping participants with both technical and research-oriented skills.
- Introduction to Linux and command-line tools for workflow management.
- Use of GMT (Generic Mapping Tools) to create maps, plots, and visualize seismic wave travel times.
- Application of scripting for reproducible scientific tasks.
- Processing and analyzing seismograms with SAC, Python, and ObsPy.
- Signal filtering, spectrogram generation, and instrument response removal.
- Accessing and utilizing seismic datasets from IRIS and other SAGE data services.
- Documenting workflows and visualizations in Jupyter Notebooks.
- Introduction to GNSS time series analysis for ground deformation monitoring.
- Integration of seismic and geodetic datasets for comprehensive Earth system studies.
- Development of good research practices: reproducibility, data literacy, and critical analysis.
The workshop provided an end-to-end learning experience in modern seismology. I built a solid computing foundation, gained proficiency in key seismological software tools, and practiced integrating seismic and geodetic data for scientific interpretation. The skills acquired are directly applicable to academic research, graduate studies, and professional careers in the geosciences.
