  Internship in Geosciences

  In the context of my internship at (IPEIG) I participated in the experimental installation of equipment for the use of the optical fibre network of the Municipality, in order to investigate the possibility of recording the ground motion of the city of Chania and possible seismic events. In collaboration with the University of Alcala (Spain). Also, I participated in a geophysical research with the method of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) in the archaeological site of Falassarna, Chania. Show less

  Internship in Seismology

  In the context of this internship I learned the daily operations and responsibilities of a National Seismological Network, with the most important being the regular provision of seismic data to seismological services of other countries and to international data centres. Determining the time of generation, location, magnitude and other characteristics of observed earthquakes, including collecting information on the effects of local earthquakes.

  Internship in Geophysics

  Institute of Geography and Earth Sciences, Department of Geophysics and Space Science As part of my internship I am presenting my research entitled Local Earthquake Tomography (LET) of the Pannonian Basin using a deep learning method by Mousavi et al. (2020) at the 2022 seminar of the Department of Geophysics and Space Science.Participation from 17/07 to 24/07 in magnetic and DC resistivity surveys (in 2D and 3D) for the mapping of archaeological sites. The fieldwork was carried out in Targu Mures, Romania. These measurement methods were carried out in a Roman Age settlement around a fortress, which was investigated by magnetic measurements, and in a Medieval Age castle and church, which were investigated by multielectrode DC measurements.

  Summer Internship in computing Seismology, 2023 Seismology Skill Building Workshop (SSBW)

  Module 1 − Introduction to Linux command line, shell scripting, and basic plot generation with Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) that enables exploration of earthquake patterns in space, time, and magnitude, and Earth’s internal structure based on seismic wave travel times.Module 2 − Introduction to Seismic Analysis Code (SAC) for viewing seismograms as both waveforms and spectrograms, and conducting time series analysis, filtering, and component rotation that enables detection, characterization, and interpretation of seismic wave patterns.Module 3 − Use the myriad of IRIS waveform, metadata, and earthquake catalog request tools (e.g.., web services, earthquake browser, Wilbur, MUSTANG, etc.) to check data availability and access data that enables exploration of relationships between earthquakes and plate boundaries and earthquake frequency and magnitude.Module 4 − Use various methods to visualize collections of seismic waveforms for a given earthquake and software for forward modeling and inversion that enables both estimation of subsurface velocity structures and earthquake hypocenter and fault plane solutions.Module 5 − Introduction to Python and commonly used libraries (e.g., NumPy, Matplotlib, Pandas, and ObsPy) for retrieving, processing, and plotting of data tables and times series that enables rapid scientific analysis of earthquake catalogs and seismic waveforms.Module 6 − Use existing and create new Jupyter Notebooks with Python to explain and share code with other scientists that enables advanced seismogram processing including removing an instrument response, calculating a spectrogram, and estimating temporal changes in cultural noise.Module 7 (BONUS) − Accessing and exploring GNSS data, interpreting GNSS plots, creating plots of GNSS station motion over time, removing the linear trend from GNSS data, examination of residuals and exploring GNSS time series for signals of earth processes.
