UCD GEL 56 Introduction to Geophysics

Introduction to Geophysics provides a solid foundation in fundamental concepts from physics (diffusion, gravity, wave propagation), material science (rheology), scientific computing (basic programming, data analysis) and geophysics (plate tectonics, gravity, seismology, earthquakes) that are essential to multiple sub-topics in Earth and Planetary Sciences.
