New Course – GEO 240 Geophysics – Offered Spring Term

20 February 2012

Sarah Titus and Bill Titus will be offering an applied geophysics course this spring, Geology 240.   The goal of the course is to understand, both from a physics and geology point of view, the near-surface structure of the earth using a very hands-on approach.  Students will collect, process, model, and interpret geophysical and related data using gravitational, magnetic, and seismic methods.  Ideally the course will have a good mixture of physics and geology students.  The classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:10 AM to 11:55 AM and the weekly lab is on Thursday afternoon from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.  The prerequisites for the course are one of the intro geology courses (100, 110, or 120) and one of the intro physics courses (131, 132, 141, 142), or the consent of the instructors.   If you have questions, you can talk with Bill (Olin 201) or email Sarah, who is presently in New Zealand leading the geology off campus program on the South Island.
