GEOL 431 - Applied Geophysics Units: 4 Geophysical methods for determination of subsurface geology, including seismic refraction and reflection, ground-penetrating radar, gravity, magnetism, and resistivity. Basic geophysical theory. Collection of geophysical data in the field and computer analysis. Lecture Units: 3; Lab Units: 1.
Prerequisites: GEOL 210, MATH 130 and PHYS 126. Possible Instructional Methods: On-ground. Grading: A-F grading only. Student Learning Outcomes - Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to: - Describe physical properties of rocks, including elastic constants, electrical and magnetic properties,
- Utilize data from a seismic survey to estimate seismic velocities and depth to layer thickness,
- Convert reflected arrivals from time to depth,
- Interpret apparent resistivity curves to estimate true resistivity structure.
