GPH 411 - Geophysical Geodesy (3 units)
Basic concepts and practice of geophysical geodesy, measurement and modeling of solid Earth deformations such as tectonics and earthquakes using precise methods such as GPS.
Prerequisite(s): GPH 333; PHYS 301.
Units of Lecture: 3
Offered: Every Fall - Odd Years
Student Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this course:
1. Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of the measurement and modeling of Earth shape and how it changes over time, and how these are used to study active geophysical processes.
2. Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of applications of space geodetic technologies such as GPS for studying earthquakes, volcanos, continental deformation, plate tectonics, subsidence of natural and anthropogenic origin.
3. Students will be able to write software to gather, analyze and interpret data, test hypotheses and present results.
