Introduction to Applied Geophysics

3 credits · Undergraduate

An Introduction to using physical principles to explore the Earth's subsurface, with an emphasis on near-surface applications. Topics include seismic, gravity, magnetic, electrical, and electromagnetic surveying techniques, and their application in prospecting, hydrogeology, environmental assessments, and well- logging. The geophysics field school, normally conducted during the last week of April, is an integral part of this course.
