EENS 632 Subsurface Geology (3)
Prof. Dawers. Prerequisites: EENS 327, 340, and approval of instructor.
Principles of subsurface mapping with emphasis on 3-dimensional seismic
reflection data. Utilization of geophysical data to construct subsurface maps.
Students gain hands on experience with Seismic Micro-Technology's state-of-the-
art software, The Kingdom Suite, in work-station based laboratory sessions.
Lectures and laboratory.

Prof. Nelson, Prof. Flowers. Prerequisites: MATH 121 and 122, or equivalent,
PHYS 121 and 122 or 131 and 132, and approval of instructor. Earth as seen in
the light of solid-earth geophysics: age and origin; seismology and structure of the
interior; gravity, geodesy, and the geoid; heat budget; generation of the magnetic
field and paleomagnetism; and geophysical constraints on plate tectonics.
Lectures.
