Basin GeoMechanics
Develop the technical foundation and physical insight to explore how stress and pressure drive geologic and human-induced processes. Examine applications including C02 sequestration, geothermal energy, hydraulic-fracturing, faulting, geopressure development, hydrocarbon entrapment, subsidence and compaction, slope stability, and borehole stability. Geological Sciences 322M and 371T (Topic: Basin GeoMechanics) may not both be counted. Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
