GEOPHYS 162A: Introduction to Laboratory Methods in Geophysics
Lectures, indirect reading assignments, and completion of questions regarding laboratory procedures. The course provides an introduction to methods of quantitative laboratory analysis of rocks, minerals, and fluids. Laboratory exercises related to rock properties on data provided by the instructor previously collected in the laboratory. There will be weekly laboratory exercises, which will be due and discussed by the students at the start of the following class, unless indicated by the instructor.
