GEOP 472 - Meteorology & Climatology
An introductory course on the atmosphere, weather, and climate. Discussion topics cover: an overview of the Earth's atmosphere, energy in the atmosphere, general atmospheric circulation, atmospheric physics and dynamics, clouds and precipitation, storms, air masses and fronts, weather analysis and forecasting, remote sensing in meteorology, general climatology, climatic classification, climatic change, climate dominated by different air masses, climate and water resources, applied climatology, and weather modification and climate.

GEOP 475 - Environmental Geophysics
Application of geophysical methods to environmental problems such as impact-assessment, clean-up, city planning, and siting of civic, industrial, and military critical facilities. Techniques include seismic, electrical and electromagnetic sounding, ground-penetrating radar, magnetics, gravity, and borehole geophysics are used in such environmental problems.

Prerequisites:
GEOP 202 with a minimum grade of D or GEOP 102 with a minimum grade of D

GEOP 478 - Data Inversion in Geophysics
Basic concepts and techniques of inverse theory and its application to geophysical problems. Focus is on linear inverse problems in gravity, magnetic, seismic, and electrical data modeling and interpretation.

Prerequisites:
(GEOP 202 with a minimum grade of D or GEOP 102 with a minimum grade of D) and MATH 202 with a minimum grade of D

GEOP 480 - Special Topics
The topic of this course is determined based on mutual agreement and interest of the instructor and the students.

GEOP 488 - Petrophysics
Introduction to basic petrophysical properties of permeability, porosity, and acoustical impedance. Laboratory measurement of porosity, permeability, capillary pressure, wettability, fluid saturation and relative permeability, principles of acoustic, electric, electromagnetic, and nuclear measurements and their applications to exploration and production of hydrocarbons. Lab topics also include measurement instruments and techniques, analysis and uncertainty of measured data.

GEOP 490 - Geophysics Field Camp
Four weeks of geological and geophysical field training and geophysical data acquisition followed by four weeks of data processing, interpretation and scientific communication. Students spend four weeks in the field learning basic geological and geophysical field techniques, participating in designing geophysical surveys, acquiring field data using different geophysical techniques such as gravity, seismic and geoelectrics. Then, they process, analyze and interpret the acquired data. Completion of weekly reports and final report and oral presentations are requried.

Prerequisites:
GEOP 320 with a minimum grade of D

GEOP 495 - Adv.Reservoir Characterization
Reservoir modeling using software tools for statistical analysis of reservoir data, cluster analysis, semivariogram analysis and modeling, spatial interpolation (Kriging), tools for data integration in Kriging, stochastic simulation of rock?types (lithology), pay thickness, porosity, and permeability, use of geological models in flow simulation, and uncertainty assessment.

GEOP 497 - Undergraduate Research
This course introduces the undergraduate students to research projects during the junior and/or senior years. It will provide, at an early stage, an appreciation of research and real?world problem solving. Students may take either a well?defined role in an ongoing research project or initiate a project of their own in consultation with a faculty advisor. Prerequisites: ENGL 214, Junior Standing, Approval of the Department

Prerequisites:
ENGL 214 with a minimum grade of D

GEOP 499 - Seminar
This course requires weekly discussion and presentation of research topics of geophysical interest. The theme of the seminar varies from year to year depending on the interest of the coordinator of the seminar. Participants are expected to make presentations and lead discussions on the subject of interest. Prerequisite: Senior Standing
