GEOL 552 - Applied Geophysics

Near-surface geophysical techniques applied to geological problems broadly defined. Theory and field application of gravity, magnetics, active-source seismology, electrical resistivity, ground penetrating radar, and others. Class includes field projects designed to investigate problems such as depth-to-bedrock, detecting subsurface features, detecting and mapping buried archeological or forensic materials, groundwater, and estimates of surface material response to seismic events.
