342R Electrical Methods In Near Surface Geophysics (3)
Fundamental theory and near-surface applications of the 'electrical'
geophysical methods; (1) electrical resistivity, (2) electromagnetics, (3)
ground penetrating radar, and (4) induced polarization. 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 archaeological protection. Course will include a field component
illustrating application of selected technique to a local environmental
problem. Prerequisites: Permission of Instructor Offered: On demand
