The course introduces the key concepts to the comprehension of the modern themes on the generation propagation and analysys of the seismic waves. Topics: Seismic sources (faulting and rupture process; faults and their representation; faults and body forces; the elastodynamic Green function; focal mechanisms). Earthquakes and their measurement (earthquakes and seismometry; earthquakes size and seismometry; intensity and magnitude measurements; viscoelasticity and attenuation). Inversion of seismological data (Inverse Problems; seismic tomography; seismic sources inversion). -- NOTE: This course was recorded automatically in slots of one hour and processed without human intervention. Lectures are split between videos; their starting time may not coincide with the beginning of videos and intervals were not removed.
