Environmental Geophysics introduces the use of geophysical methods to study and manage near-surface environmental problems.
Students learn how physical principles, such as gravity, electricity, magnetism, and seismic wave propagation, are used to image the subsurface without drilling.
The course focuses on sustainable resource management, groundwater exploration, soil and contamination assessment, and monitoring of waste and remediation sites.
Emphasis is placed on field applications, data interpretation, and the integration of multiple methods for environmental decision-making.
