Subsurface Geoscience for Environmental and Humanitarian Challenges

Undergraduate

introduces students to subsurface methods that can be used for environmental and humanitarian applications such as sourcing the green economy, storing excess carbon, monitoring water resources, documenting past events in human history, tracking present-day military activity, improving urban planning, ensuring integrity of power grids, and terra-forming other planets. Challenges will be addressed through an overview of the relevant subsurface methods (seismic, gravity, magnetics, ground penetrating radar) and their real-world application.
