Classes

GEOL 1010
Earth Systems Science
Survey of the connections, evolution and interactions between atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, solid earth, and the universe.

GEOL 5320
Solid Earth Geophysics
Gravity, magnetic, seismic (including both refraction and reflection types), and heat properties of the solid Earth; lab consists of computational problems in these subjects.

GEOL 4400/5400
Geologic Remote Sensing
Remote sensing theory and compositional mapping of rocks, soils, and minerals with multispectral and hyperspectral sensor data, including case histories in petroleum, groundwater, and mineral exploration; lab teaches how to employ commercial remote sensing image processing software, with hands-on experience.

GEOL 6400
Environmental Remote Sensing
Global monitoring by satellites and some high-resolution environmental remote sensing topics (e.g., solid waste landfills).
