| 651-3440-02L | Geophysics III This course replaces 651-3440-02 Geomagnetism. Students who completed Geomagnetism are not eligible to this course. | 4 credits | 3G | A. Jackson, P. Tackley, S. Wiemer, T. Kraft | |
| Abstract | This course builds on Geophysik I and Geophysik II, broadening the students' education in seismology, geodynamics and geodynamo theory, by considering various specific topics of particular interest. | ||||
| Learning objective | To teach students the basics of observational seismology, earthquake source seismology, seismotectonics and the principle of seismic tomography, mantle convection over Earth history, structure of the oceanic and continental lithosphere, plate tectonics, hotspots, global heat flux, dynamo operation and magnetic field generation in Earth, planets, the Sun and stars and electromagnetism to probe the mantle. | ||||
