How do Earth scientists explore the Earth’s interior? What methods do they use to understand our planet’s physical properties? This course will focus on key geophysical concepts and techniques essential for studying the interior of the Earth and the theory of Plate Tectonics. Major topics include gravity, isostasy, magnetism, heat flow, and seismology. Students will learn to apply fundamental geophysical equations to address real-life geoscience problems. They will also be introduced to commonly used applied-geophysical techniques for subsurface sensing, covering instrument operation, data collection and interpretation, as well as applications in resource exploration, engineering, and environmental studies.
