Introduction to the foundations of contemporary geophysics. Topics drawn from broad themes in: whole Earth geodynamics, geohazards, natural resources, and environment. In each case the focus is on how the interpretation of a variety of geophysical measurements (e.g., gravity, seismology, electromagnetics, and remote sensing) can be used to provide fundamental insight into the behavior of the Earth.Students will collect seismic, gravity, magnetic and drone data in a required full-day field-experience on Saturday GEOPHYS 01/GEOPHYS 24, nominally GEOPHYS 08:GEOPHYS 00-GEOPHYS 17:GEOPHYS 00 (rain dates are GEOPHYS 01/GEOPHYS 25, GEOPHYS 01/GEOPHYS 31 or GEOPHYS 02/GEOPHYS 01) to use in the class.
