Ebook: Seismic Data Analysis with ObsPy

The present thesis is the automated generation of graphics for the observation of co-
seismic ground motions (translations and rotations) at the seismic measurement station
Wettzell, Germany. For this purpose a program was developed that is based on the pro-
gramming language Python. Munich. Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences,
