GEOPHYS 115

Taking the Pulse of the Planet (GEOPHYS 231)

UNITS:3
GRADING:Letter or Credit/No Credit
LEVEL:Undergrad
GER:WAY-AQR, WAY-SMA

Tapping into rapid advancements in sensor technology and data science over the past decade, we can now image and monitor many components of the Earth system and human activities. We explore, through this course, the powerful role that advancements in technology and advancements in data science are playing in addressing the global challenges in sustainability and climate change. This will be a lecture class for undergraduates and graduate students designed to introduce them to the incredible array of sensors and data sets now available, focusing primarily on satellite-deployed sensors.
