31 - 40 of 92 results for: GEOPHYS

GEOPHYS 197: Senior Thesis in Geophysics

For seniors writing a thesis based on Geophysics research in 196 or as a summer research fellow. Seniors defend the results of their research at a public oral presentation.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 3-5

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, Sum | Units: 1-3 | Repeatable 4 times (up to 15 units total)

GEOPHYS 199: Senior Seminar: Issues in Earth Sciences

Focus is on written and oral communication in a topical context. Topics from current frontiers in earth science research and issues of concern to the public. Readings, oral presentations, written work, and peer review.
Terms: Aut | Units: 3

GEOPHYS 201: Frontiers of Geophysical Research at Stanford: Faculty Lectures

Required for new students entering the department. Second-year and other graduate students may attend either for credit or as auditors. Department faculty and senior research staff introduce the frontiers of research problems and methods being employed or developed in the department and unique to department faculty and students: what the current research is, why the research is important, what methodologies and technologies are being used, and what the potential impact of the results might be. Offered every year, autumn quarter.
Terms: Aut | Units: 1
Instructors: Zebker, H. (PI)

GEOPHYS 202: Reservoir Geomechanics

Basic principles of rock mechanics and the state of stress and pore pressure in sedimentary basins related to exploitation of hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoirs. Mechanisms of hydrocarbon migration, exploitation of fractured reservoirs, reservoir compaction and subsidence, hydraulic fracturing, utilization of directional and horizontal drilling to optimize well stability.Given alternate years.
Terms: Spr | Units: 3

GEOPHYS 203: Fluids and Flow in the Earth: Computational Methods (GEOPHYS 181)

Interdisciplinary problems involving the state and movement of fluids in crustal systems, and computational methods to model these processes. Examples of processes include: nonlinear, time-dependent flow in porous rocks; coupling in porous rocks between fluid flow, stress, deformation, and heat and chemical transport; percolation of partial melt; diagenetic processes; pressure solution and the formation of stylolites; and transient pore pressure in fault zones. MATLAB, Lattice-Boltzmann, and COMSOL Multiphysics. Term project. No experience with COMSOL Multiphysics required. Offered every other year, winter quarter.

GEOPHYS 204: Spectral Finite Element Method (SPECFEM) Seismograms

This is a short course intended for graduate students, but senior level undergraduate students are welcome. The course will cover spectral finite element methods for generating synthetic seismograms. The course will emphasize application over theory, such that students will be able to generate synthetic seismograms by the end of the course. We will employ the SPECFEM code suite on the Center for Computational Earth and Environmental Science (CEES) cluster to generate synthetic seismograms. Bring your laptop to class! Pre-requisite: A working knowledge of differential equations, matrix algebra, unix/linux, and earthquake seismology.
Last offered: Autumn 2012

GEOPHYS 205: Effective Scientific Presentation and Public Speaking

The ability to present your work in a compelling, concise, and engaging manner will enhance your professional career. This course breaks down presentations into their key elements: the opening, body of the talk, closing, slide and poster graphics, Q&A, pacing, pauses, and voice modulation. We use clips from archived talks, slide sets and posters to illustrate the good, the bad, and the ugly. Each participant will use their upcoming conference talk or poster (e.g., AGU, SEG), or upcoming job talk or funding pitch, as their class project. The course will be 40% group meetings and 60% individual coaching. Everyone will come away a more skilled and confident speaker than they were before. Instructor: Ross S. Stein (USGS) nThe course syllabus is the third publication in http://profile.usgs.gov/rstein
Terms: Aut | Units: 2
Instructors: Stein, R. (PI)

GEOPHYS 206: FLUID DYNAMICS OF THE SOLID EA

Introducton to fluid dynamical processes in the interior and on the surface of the Earth. The main focus of this course are viscous flow systems with different rheologies. Topics include solid-mantle convection, lava flows, creep in ice sheets, flow instabilities in solid-fluid mixtures and basic principles of fluid percolation through porous media.

GEOPHYS 208: Unconventional Reservoir Geomechanics

This course will investigate oil and gas production from extremely low permeability reservoirs. Lectures and exercises will address 1) the physical and fluid transport properties of unconventional reservoir formations, 2) stimulation techniques such as hydraulic fracturing and 3) understanding microseismicity associated with hydraulic stimulation and induced seismicity associated with wastewater injection. Prerequisite: GEOPHYS 202 or concurrent enrollment in GEOPHYS 202.
