EASC 3170

Is an introduction to geophysical methods used to investigate the subsurface of the Earth, with particular application to: exploration and development of mineral, hydrocarbon, and geothermal resources; carbon sequestration; and burial of nuclear waste. The laboratory component involves hands-on exercises collecting data (generally indoors), analyzing, and interpreting geophysical data using modern software. Pertinent seismic, gravity, magnetic, electric and electromagnetic techniques will be covered.
