5541 Seismic And Potential Field Methods In Environmental Geophysics (3)
(3) Fundamental theory and near-surface applications of the geophysical
methods; (1) seismic refraction, (2) seismic reflection, (3) gravity, and (4)
magnetics. Emphasis will be placed on the use of these methods in environmental
and engineering investigations, addressing such issues as water resources,
contaminant transport, geotechnical properties and archaelogical protection.
Course will include a field component illustrating application of selected
techniques to a local environmental problem. Prerequisites: Baccalaureate
degree in Geology or permission of instructor. Offered: Fall
