MSCI 442 Q - Coastal Geophysical Field Methods (4 credits)

(Prereq: MSCI 440 and MSCI 440L) This course provides a hands-on introduction to geophysical data acquisition, processing and interpretation techniques commonly used in geologic and oceanographic research. The theoretical basis for various techniques is examined and direct applications are emphasized in the course. The course will consist of two main parts: (1) Field Work – Geophysical data will be collected across the coastal zone; (2) Lab Work – Geophysical data will be processed and interpreted using industry standard software. May, odd years.
