Dr. Dragana Chernih, Professor
Definition of earthquake intensity. Quantitative display of intensity. Qualitative display of intensity – various macroseismic scales and the relationships between them. European macroseismic scale – 1998 and detailed guidelines for its application. Intensity attenuation laws with hypocentral distance. Empirical relations between intensity, earthquake magnitude and hypocentral depth. Collection of macroseismic data and their processing and analysis. Making maps of isoseisms and determining the basic earthquake parameters from them. Application of macroseismics in the determination of parameters of historical earthquakes and modern earthquakes for which instrumental seismological data are missing. Relationships of macroseismics to engineering seismology and earthquake engineering.
