The central role of numerical computation in geophysics, oceanography and meteorology has created a need for a practical introduction to numerical methods tailored to the earth sciences. GEOL 302 or GEOL 303. The material covered will be relevant to students concerned with volcanism in general. Cordilleran geology, global environment, geological hazards, ore-deposits and geological fluid dynamics. This course is proposed in response to a clearly stated demand from senior undergraduates and graduate students in the geological sciences.
Course is problem-oriented with emphasis on applications from listed fields.
This course is Web-based. Same as ATSC 409 and GEOG 409. The central role of numerical computation in geophysics, oceanography and meteorology has created a need for a practical introduction to numerical methods tailored to the earth sciences.
