GP120
- Frontiers in Geophysical Research at Stanford
Faculty
Lectures- Required for new students entering the
department. Second-year and other graduate students
may attend either for credit or as auditors.
Department
and senior research staff lectures introduce the
frontiers of research problems and the methods
being employed or developed in the department
and unique to department faculty and students:
what the current research is, why the research
is important, what methodologies and technologies
are being used, and what the potential impact
of the results might be.
1-2
units (Harris)

- Waves
Topics:
Derivations of wave equations and their solutions
in 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D; amplitude, polarization,
phase and group velocities, attenuation, and dispersion;
reflection and transmission at single and multiple
interfaces; ray theory. Applications from acoustics,
elastodynamics, and electromagnetics. Prerequisites:
differential/integral calculus and complex functions.

- Applied and Environmental Geophysics
Applications
of geophysical methods for imaging and characterizing
the top 100 meters of the Earth. Focus is the
use of electrical and seismic methods for environmental
and engineering applications. Introduction to
the link between electrical and elastic properties
of rock, soils, and sediments, and their physical,
chemical, and biological properties. Surface and
borehole methods used for data acquisition. Two-day,
optional field class demonstration of the use
of geophysical equipment.
3
units, last offered spring 2002/03 (Harris)

| GP240
- Borehole Seismology
The
study and application of seismic-acoustic waves
in an around boreholes for application to sonic
well logging, crosswell seismic profiling, and
vertical seismic profiling. Topics: forward modeling,
seismogram interpretation, data processing, imaging,
and inversion. Applications from reservoir and
site characterization studies and reservoir monitoring.
Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
