Hydrogeophysics. (3-0) 3 Credit Hours

Catalog description

Prerequisite: MAT 1213 or higher, PHY 1963 , and completion of or concurrent enrollment in GEO 4511 . The presence of water and other fluids in subsurface formations, from the macro aquifer level to the micro pore level, are ultimately detected and observed through the application of geophysical principles and survey methods.This course will explore the fundamental science of hydrological geophysics, through the examination of the fundamental petrophysics and the various geophysical surface and borehole methods, such as seismic refraction, electrical resistivity and induced polarization, electromagnetic induction, microgravimetry, and geo-radar as applied to hydrogeologic investigations. This course has Differential Tuition.
