Course Title
Environmental Geophysics
Course Description
Methods of near-surface geophysical explorations with emphasis on solving environmental and geotechnical problems. Students learn the basic physical variation in Earth and non-Earth materials and how these variations may be used to discern what lies beneath the Earth's surface. Examples of near-surface geophysical applications include detection of contaminant plumes, buried metallic objects, variations in geological materials, aggregates and mining, forensics, archaeology, and hydrogeology. Prerequisites: EENV-113 Geology & the Environment and MATH-111 Calculus I. 4 SH. 3 lecture hours, 3 laboratory/field hours.
