3.00 Credits
The basics of core analysis and the principles of all common borehole instruments are reviewed. The course teaches interpretation methods that combine the measurements of various borehole instruments to determine rock properties such as porosity, permeability, hydrocarbon saturation, water salinity, ore grade and ash content. The impact of these parameters on reserve estimates of hydrocarbon reservoirs and mineral accumulations is demonstrated. Geophysical topics such as vertical seismic profiling, single well and cross-well seismic are emphasized in this course, while formation testing, and cased hole logging are covered in GPGN419/PEGN419 presented in the fall. The laboratory provides on-line course material and hands-on computer log evaluation exercises. Prerequisites: MATH225, MATH348 or PHGN311, GPGN302, GPGN303 and GPGN308. 3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab; 4 semester hours. Only one of the two courses GPGN432 and GPGN419/PEGN419 can be taken for credit.

Complementary design course for geophysics restricted elective course(s). Application of engineering design principles to geophysics through advanced work, individual in character, leading to an engineering report or senior thesis and oral presentation thereof. Choice of design project is to be arranged between student and individual faculty member who will serve as an advisor, subject to department head approval. Prerequisites: GPGN302, GPGN303, GPGN308, and completion of or concurrent enrollment in geophysics method courses in the general topic area of the project design. Credit variable, 1 to 3 hours. Repeatable for credit up to a maximum of 3 hours.

3.00 Credits
This is a multi-disciplinary design course that integrates fundamentals and design concepts in geological, geophysical, and petroleum engineering. Students work in integrated teams from each of the disciplines. Open-ended design problems are assigned including the development of a prospect in an exploration play and a detailed engineering field study. Detailed reports are required for the prospect evaluation and engineering field study. Prerequisite: GE Majors: GEOL309, GEGN438, GEGN316, EPIC 251; PE majors: PEGN316, PEGN414, PEGN422, PEGN423, PEGN424 (or concurrent) GEOL308, EPIC 251; GP Majors: GPGN302 , GPGN303 and EPIC 251. 2 hours lecture; 3 hours lab; 3 semester hours.

Historical survey. Propagation of body and surface waves in elastic media; transmission and reflection at single and multiple interfaces; energy relationships; attenuation factors; data processing (including velocity interpretation, stacking, and migration); and interpretation techniques. Acquisition, processing, and interpretation of laboratory model data; seismic processing using an interactive workstation. Prerequisites: GPGN302 and concurrent enrollment in GPGN404, or consent of instructor. 3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab; 4 semester hours.

3.00 Credits
Students are introduced to geoscience applications of satellite remote sensing. Introductory lectures provide background on satellites, sensors, methodology, and diverse applications. One or more areas of application are presented from a systems perspective. Guest lecturers from academia, industry, and government agencies present case studies focusing on applications, which vary from semester to semester. Students do independent term projects, under the supervision of a faculty member or guest lecturer, that are presented both written and orally at the end of the term. Prerequisites: PHGN200, MATH225, GEOL308 or GEOL309, or consent of instructor. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.

3.00 Credits
Introduction to geological and geophysical field methods. The program includes exercises in geological surveying, stratigraphic section measurements, geological mapping, and interpretation of geological observations. Students conduct geophysical surveys related to the acquisition of seismic, gravity, magnetic, and electrical observations. Students participate in designing the appropriate geophysical surveys, acquiring the observations, reducing the observations, and interpreting these observations in the context of the geological model defined from the geological surveys. Prerequisites: GEOL308 or GEOL309, GEOL314, GPGN302, GPGN303, GPGN308, GPGN315 or consent of instructor. Repeatable to a maximum of 6 hours.

3.00 Credits
Students will explore the fundamental observations from which physical and mathematical inferences can be made regarding the Earth's origin, structure, and evolution. These observations include traditional geophysical observations (e.g., seismic, gravity, magnetic, and radioactive) in addition to geochemical, nucleonic, and extraterrestrial observations. Emphasis is placed on not only cataloging the available data sets, but on developing and testing quantitative models to describe these disparate data sets. Prerequisites: GEGN202, GPGN302, GPGN303, GPGN308, MATH348 or PHGN311, and MATH225, or consent of instructor. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.

3.00 Credits
New topics in geophysics. Each member of the academic faculty is invited to submit a prospectus of the course to the department head for evaluation as a special topics course. If selected, the course can be taught only once under the 498 title before becoming a part of the regular curriculum under a new course number and title. Prerequisite: Consent of department. Credit-variable, 1 to 6 hours. Repeatable for credit under different topics.
-
3.00 Credits
Individual project; instrument design, data interpretation, problem analysis, or field survey. Prerequisite: Consent of department, and "Independent Study" form must be completedand submitted to the Registrar. Credit dependent upon nature and extent of project. Variable 1 to 6 hours. Repeatable for credit.

3.00 Credits
Investigate fundamentals of fuel-call operation and electrochemistry from a chemical thermodynamics and materialsscience perspective. Review types of fuel cells, fuel-processing requirements and approaches, and fuel-cell system integration. Examine current topics in fuel-cell science and technology. Fabricate and test operational fuel cells in the Colorado Fuel Cell Center. 3 credit hours. Prerequisites: EGGN371 or ChEN357 or MTGN351; Thermodynamics I, MATH225 Differential Equations, or consent of instructor.
