The Seismology Skill Building Workshop is a FREE ~70 hour online course to build scientific computing and computational thinking skills while working with seismic data. Participants should expect to invest approximately 5-6 hours per week, including participating in the weekly webinar (or watching the recording).  At the end of the workshop participants receive a performance report certificate and a micro-credential. This certificate describes module content, the number of assignments completed, and the average score for each module.

This asynchronous, self-paced course introduces learners to modern Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) through command-line scripting, with a focus on geophysical applications in seismology and geodesy. Participants will build practical skills by working in the terminal environment to process, analyze, and visualize real-world geoscience data using GMT.

Course activities must be completed independently between September 2 and September 25, 2025. Please note: late submissions will not be accepted.

This 5-day course will cover basic & advanced InSAR theory, InSAR processing with the JPL/Caltech InSAR Scientific Computing Environment (ISCE), methods for mitigating noise in InSAR data, access the ARIA & OPERA standard InSAR products and prepare them for time-series analysis, InSAR time-series analysis with the MintPy software, pixel offset tracking, and basic data interpretation and modeling.

Overview: This workshop offers a great opportunity to learn field instrumentation methods you can integrate into a wide variety of undergraduate geoscience courses. Workshop participants will learn practical approaches for creating georeferenced point clouds of high-resolution topography data using Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry and Global Positioning System (GPS) — which can be used to … Continued

Overview: This workshop provides the foundation for Earth science instructors to integrate near-surface geophysics instrumentation and methods into their undergraduate courses — from introductory to majors-level. Geophysics methods can be applied to a wide range of societally important topics, from natural hazards to groundwater resources to forensics and provide a powerful way to engage students … Continued

This technical short course, facilitated by the EarthScope Consortium, is designed to introduce participants to MsPASS, a powerful framework for processing seismic data on HPC and cloud systems. The course aims to teach seismologists how to effectively manage waveform metadata using MongoDB, understand modern computing cluster concepts, and leverage cloud computing for seismic data analysis.

This course will cover the theory and application of repeat-pass synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) using the software GMTSAR. Lectures and exercises will be given to teach the basic theoretical aspects of InSAR. Labs will include software installation, running test data sets for standard interferogram formation, as well as more advanced processing for time series with Sentinel-1A TOPS-mode data.

Overview: Quantitatively skilled Earth science graduates are critical to meeting the needs of the workforce and the country. This virtual workshop will introduce Earth science instructors to co-curricular math and statistics modules and work with instructors to develop implementation plans for using the materials during the 2025-26 academic year. This workshop will gather ~20-30 undergraduate instructors and facilitators to … Continued
