四、地球物理與板塊學說

This course is normally offered in the first semester of each academic year. It is designed for the first year graduate students and 3rd or 4th year undergraduates who have some background in earth sciences and are interested in learning geophysical prospecting techniques. This course is focused on the basic concepts of geophysical methods, geophysical data acquisition, processing, analysis and interpretation, and the usage of geophysical data to address geological and engineering problems. This course will cover:
1. The physical properties of the solid Earth.
2. Geophysical exploration methods, including seismic reflection and refraction methods, gravity and magnetic methods, etc.
3. Engineering geophysics and high-resolution geophysical surveys.
4. Geophysics and tectonics.
