INTRODUCTION TO APPLIED GEOPHYSICS

GEOSCI/GLE 350

Methods of geophysics applied to earth structure and plate tectonics. Principles of seismology, gravity, geodesy, magnetism and heat flow.

GLE 171

Comprehensive introduction to engineering applications of earth sciences. Exploitation and management of geologic resources; mitigation of geologic hazards such as landslides and earthquakes; abatement of environmental problems such as land and water pollution; design of surface and underground excavations; principal methods of geological engineering.

GEOSCI/GLE 595

The application of geophysical field methods for delineating near-surface features and/or structures as applied to engineering, environmental and exploration problems.

GEOSCI 758

Addresses current topics and controversies on fault mechanics, earthquake physics, and the rock record of seismicity. Emphasizes critical reading and in-depth discussion of recent publications drawn from a variety of disciplines, including geophysical, geological, and geochemical studies and approaches.

GEOSCI/GLE 747

Elasticity and flexure of the earth's lithosphere, heat conduction, mantle convection, earthquake mechanisms, rock rheology, and fluid migration in the earth's crust; integration of geophysical observations, laboratory experiments, and theoretical models.
