Bachelor degrees in Geophysics and Seismology: A program that focuses on the scientific study of the physics of solids and its application to the study of the earth and other planets. Includes instruction in gravimetric, seismology, earthquake forecasting, magnetrometry, electrical properties of solid bodies, plate tectonics, active deformation, thermodynamics, remote sensing, geodesy, and laboratory simulations of geological processes.
The curriculum leading to the B.S. degree geophysics prepares students for a broad variety of careers in quantitative geoscience or for graduate school in many scientific and engineering disciplines.
A geophysics major receives a thorough preparation in geophysics, an introductory background in chemistry, computer science, geology, mathematics, and physics, and more focused study in one of nine elective areas: applied mathematics, chemistry, computer...
An undergraduate in the Department of Geology and Geophysics will develop a major program in the Department's major: Geophysics. Within the constraints discussed below, programs can be individually designed to meet the interests and objectives of each student. Students may wish to major or to have a concentration in the earth sciences for a variety of reasons including: (1) a desire to work professionally in one of the earth sciences, (2) a desire...
The Geophysics and Planetary Sciences Concentration is a joint major between the Earth Sciences and Astronomy Departments. This multidisciplinary program is built around an array of geology, geophysics, astronomy, physics and geography courses. Students who embark on this joint concentration develop the skills to observe structures and processes on a planetary scale. This major prepares students for research in seismology and planetary geology; or...
The geophysics division is conducting research in the following areas: Experimental Geophysics, Geodynamics, Glaciology, Southern California Earthquake Data Center (SCEDC), Seismological Laboratory, Southern California Seismic Network., Theoretical & Computational Seismology, Tectonics Observatory.
An astrogeophysics concentration is available to students interested in the study of the solar system and stellar matter. The program includes two advanced astronomy courses (ASTR 210 and higher), one 100-level geology course, GEOL 201 and 202, and two additional advanced physics (PHYS 216 and higher) or astronomy courses. In addition, CHEM 101, 102; MATH 111, 112, 113, 214 (or 308); and PHYS 120, 121, 122 are required. Students should consult the...
A major in Geophysics provides a solid background in the essentials of math, physics, and geology, together with knowledge in geophysics pertinent to resource exploration, global geodynamics, and environmental problems. Students are prepared for either an immediate professional career in the resources and environmental industries or future graduate study.
