11 - 20 of 34 results for: GEOPHYS

GEOPHYS 198: Honors Program

Experimental, observational, or theoretical honors project and thesis in geophysics under supervision of a faculty member. Students who elect to do an honors thesis should begin planning it no later than Winter Quarter of the junior year. Prerequisites: department approval. Seniors defend the results of their research at a public oral presentation.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr | Units: 1-3 | Repeatable 4 times (up to 15 units total)

GEOPHYS 210: Basic Earth Imaging (GEOPHYS 188)

Terms: Win | Units: 2-3

GEOPHYS 215: Introduction to the Foundations of Contemporary Geophysics (EARTHSYS 110, GEOPHYS 110)

Introduction to the foundations of contemporary geophysics. Lectures link important topics in contemporary Geophysics ("What we study") to methods used to make progress on these topics ("How we study"). Topics range from plate tectonics to natural hazards; ice sheets to sustainability. For each topic, we focus is on how the interpretation of geophysical measurements (e.g., gravity, seismology, heat flow, electromagnetism and remote sensing) provides fundamental insight into the behavior of the Earth. The course will includes a required all-day Saturday field exercise Feb 02/10 (rain-date: 02/17). Prerequisite: CME 100 or MATH 51, or co-registration in either.
Terms: Win | Units: 3

GEOPHYS 220: Geophysical Mechanics and Dynamics (GEOPHYS 120)

Introductory application of continuum mechanics to ice sheets and glaciers, water waves and tsunamis, and volcanoes. Emphasis on physical processes and mathematical description using balance of mass and momentum, combined with constitutive equations for fluids and solids. Designed for undergraduates with no prior geophysics background; also appropriate for beginning graduate students. Prerequisites: CME 100 or MATH 52 and PHYSICS 41 (or equivalent).
Terms: Win | Units: 3-5

GEOPHYS 226: Planetary Science Reading (EPS 127, EPS 227, GEOPHYS 126)

(Formerly GEOLSCI 127 and 227) Planets and stars form together, from collapsed cores in interstellar molecular clouds. This is a very active area of research, and the book Protostars and Planets VII (2023) consists of up-to-date review chapters covering various aspects of the field. This seminar will cover the portions of the book focusing on planet formation and exoplanets. It will meet once per week to discuss an individual chapter, with students expected to come to class with questions about each week's reading assignment. There are no prerequisites for this course, but students should have some facility with reading scientific literature. Change of Department Name: Earth and Planetary Science (Formerly Geologic Sciences).
Terms: Win | Units: 1 | Repeatable 3 times (up to 3 units total)
Instructors: Schaefer, L. (PI)

GEOPHYS 228: Modeling Earth (GEOPHYS 128)

Most problems in Earth Science are dazzling and beautifully complex. Abstracting from this natural complexity to identify the essential components and mechanisms of a natural system is perhaps the most important, but commonly overlooked, task for developing testable mathematical models for Earth and Environmental Science. This course focuses on conceptual model development, rather than addressing the variety of formal mathematical techniques available for the analytical analysis or numerical simulation of a model. Recommended Prerequisites: CME 100 or MATH 51 (or equivalent)
Terms: Win, Spr | Units: 3-4

GEOPHYS 265: Imaging Radar and Applications (EE 355)

Radar remote sensing, radar image characteristics, viewing geometry, range coding, synthetic aperture processing, correlation, range migration, range/Doppler algorithms, wave domain algorithms, polar algorithm, polarimetric processing, interferometric measurements. Applications: surfafe deformation, polarimetry and target discrimination, topographic mapping surface displacements, velocities of ice fields. Prerequisites: EE261. Recommended: EE254, EE278, EE279.
Terms: Win | Units: 3

GEOPHYS 300: Geophysics Department Seminar

Required for graduate students in their first two years (six quarters total), and strongly encouraged for all members of the Department. This course consists of a lecture by a different speaker each week, distinguished scientists selected by students and faculty to present a wide cross-section of Geophysics. Occasional sessions are devoted to general topics of interest to the Department of Geophysics. Invited experts introduce their research problems, methods and results. Offered every year, autumn and winter and spring quarter.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr | Units: 1 | Repeatable 10 times (up to 10 units total)

GEOPHYS 385A: Reflection Seismology

Research in reflection seismology and petroleum prospecting. May be repeated for credit.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr | Units: 1-2 | Repeatable for credit

GEOPHYS 385B: Environmental Geophysics

Research on the use of geophysical methods for near-surface environmental problems. May be repeated for credit.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr | Units: 1-2 | Repeatable for credit
