printer friendly pageGEOPHYS 120: Ice, Water, Fire (GEOPHYS 220)
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).
