-
3.00 Credits
Principles of active and passive remote sensing data interpretation for geologists. Study of geomorphic, structural, and lithologic characteristics of the Earth as observed in aerial and satellite data. Emphasis on the use of multispectral, radar, and LiDAR data for geologic mapping.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles of groundwater flow and water chemistry in varied geologic media. Evaluation of groundwater resources and assessment of environmental problems associated with groundwater use. RESTRICTIONS: Students who received credit in CIEG698 are not eligible to take this course without permission.
-
3.00 Credits
Explore the foundations of modern Hydrogeology by analyzing classic papers that advanced the field toward its current state-of-the-art. Topics vary from physical hydrogeology to geochemical aspects, including groundwater age dating and tracers. RESTRICTIONS: Previous background in Hydrogeology.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
Course on plate tectonics with an emphasis on the history of plate tectonics, plate kinematics and dynamics, and processes at plate boundaries. Topics are explored from the perspective of marine geology and geophysical techniques. Course is taught through Lectures, scientific literature discussions, class activities, homework, and a term presentation.
-
3.00 Credits
How microorganisms drive geological processes in modern environments, and the roles of microbial life on ancient Earth. Discussion of literature on topics such as biomineralization, weathering, microfossils, biomarkers, astrobiology, genomics, evolution, and redox history of Earth.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to geophysical methods that may include seismic reflection and refraction, side-scan sonar, multibeam sonar, ground-penetration radar (GPR), LiDAR, and resistivity exploration methods and interpretations. Additional topics that could be addressed include seismology, magnetism, gravity, and geodesy.
-
3.00 Credits
Multiple regression and time series analysis; model validation; sampling; principal components;factor analysis; cluster analysis; discriminant analysis; and statistical software routines. RESTRICTIONS: Cannot be taken for credit in the Statistics master's degree program.
-
3.00 Credits
Covers the factors that cause natural variations in Earth's climate on different time scales, focusing on biotic, geologic, and geochemical records. Includes discussion of changing continental configurations, atmospheric greenhouse gas levels, and the Earth-Sun geometry on ocean circulation and climate change.
-
3.00 Credits
Some research applications require inferences to be drawn from point, line, or areal data, rather than from the traditional univariate or multivariate framework. A number of such techniques have been developed including adaptations from classical statistical methods and novel approaches to account for the spatial nature of data. Explore the emerging literature on statistical methodologies that have been explicitly developed for the solution of spatial problems. RESTRICTIONS: Can not be taken for credit in the Statistics Master's Degree program.
-
3.00 Credits
Investigation of the geological and geotechnical aspects of offshore wind projects. Emphasis on influence of geology and physical properties of sediments and rocks on offshore wind project site Selection, design, construction, and operation.
