GEOL 787 - Numerical Modeling in Earth Science and Engineering (3 units)
Focus on describing environmental processes mathematically, solving equations numerically to create predictive quantitative models. Hands-on introduction to numerical modeling, from problem formulation to programming and interpretation.
Grading Basis: Graded
Units of Lecture: 3
Offered: Every Spring - Even Years
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. develop a scientific/engineering computing skill set to a level sufficient to write procedural programming scripts to solve equations, complete analysis, plot results and visualize data across a range of geological problems.
2. demonstrate this proficiency through bi-weekly coding projects.
3. discuss the relationship of numerical modeling in the broader context of the field and to their own research interests.
