(Formerly GEOLSCI 189 and 289) What does an earthquake fault look like near Earth's surface? How about the inside of, or beneath, a volcano? Why does California experience earthquakes and volcanic eruptions? Learn about thermo-physico-chemical evolution (mass transport, heat transport) in Earth's crust through a required long-weekend field trip (three nights camping, all equipment provided) Memorial Day Weekend (early morning Friday 5/23 - late evening Mon 5/26) across Sierra Nevada, to Owens Valley, Mono Lake, Yosemite, western Basin & Range Province. May be repeated for credit (future destinations span northern California/southern Oregon, including Crater Lake, Lassen and Lava Tubes National Parks/Monument San Andreas fault, Mendocino Triple Junction). Lectures provide context for planned trip. Minimum pre-req for non-majors: EPS 1 (co-registration acceptable; previously GEOLSCI1) or GEOPHYS 110 or equivalent). No Class on Tuesday, April 1st. First meeting Thursday, April 3, 2025. Last meeting Thursday May 22nd (and field trip). Enrollment priority: majors and graduate students in GEOPHYS and EPS, then SDSS.

This course provides an introduction to planetary science through the exploration of processes that formed and modified planetary bodies within the Solar System and beyond. Each lecture will be given by an expert in a specific subfield of planetary sciences, with topics ranging from planetary materials and formation, planetary dynamics, planetary structure and tectonics, planetary atmospheres, impact cratering, surface processes, and astrobiology. We will also discuss how scientists investigate planets both near and far through sample analysis, telescopic and orbital remote sensing as well as in situ through robotic instruments. Although there are no prerequisites for this course, it is primarily directed towards undergraduate students who are majoring (or plan to) in the sciences or engineering. A minimum level of mathematics equivalent to high school algebra and introductory calculus will be necessary.

This course provides a survey of the rapidly growing field of machine learning in the physical sciences. It covers various areas such as inverse problems, emulating physical processes, model discovery given data, and solution discovery given equations. It both introduces the background knowledge required to implement physics-informed deep learning and provides practical in-class coding exercises. Students have the opportunity to apply this emerging methodology to their own research interests across all fields of the physical sciences, including geophysics, climate, fluids, or other systems where the same technique applies. Recommended Prerequisite: Calculus (e.g. Math 21), Differential Equations (e.g. MATH 53 or PHYSICS 111) or equivalents. CME 215 is only open to graduate students. Undergraduate students should enroll in GEOPHYS 148 to satisfy WAYS requirements.

(Formerly GEOLSCI 230) Lectures and laboratory experiments. Properties of rocks and geomaterials and how they relate to chemo-mechanical processes in crustal settings, reservoirs, and man-made materials. Focus is on properties such as porosity, permeability, acoustic wave velocity, and electrical resistivity. Students may investigate a scientific problem to support their own research (4 units). Prerequisites: Physics 41 (or equivalent) and CME 100. Change of Department Name: Earth and Planetary Science (Formerly Geologic Sciences).

Field-, lab-, or computer-based. Faculty supervision. Written reports.

(Same as GP241) Practical methods for quantitative characterization and uncertainty assessment of subsurface reservoir models integrating well-log and seismic data. Multidisciplinary combination of rock-physics, seismic attributes, sedimentological information and spatial statistical modeling techniques. Student teams build reservoir models using limited well data and seismic attributes typically available in practice, comparing alternative approaches. Software provided (SGEMS, Petrel, Matlab). Offered every other year.Recommended: ERE240/260, or GP222/223, or GP260/262 or GES253/257; ERE246, GP112
