專業(yè)概況
在這里學(xué)什么？
Graduates with a BS in Geophysics go on to careers in the energy and environmental industries, and advanced study at top-ranked graduate programs. The first two years are similar to the BS in Geology, providing students with the fundamentals of geology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Courses during the junior and senior years emphasize knowledge transfer from the fields of math and physics to techniques and problems in both theoretical and applied geophysics. Technical electives allow students to focus on specific career objectives. Students are also encouraged to become involved in research problems with faculty members and can receive course credit for this activity through GEOP 291 and GEOP 491.
Geophysicists contribute to the field of environmental science by working on traditional and emerging methods used for hydrogeological, structural and stratigraphic characterization of the uppermost 100 meters, with applications to shallow resource and groundwater assessment and the solution of environmental and engineering problems. Environmental geophysicists typically work as independent environmental consultants or with industrial corporation or government agencies. Other recommended classes include GEOL 410, GEOL 420 and GEOL 440.
Many geophysics find eventual employment in the petroleum industry, in which reflection seismology is the primary subsurface exploration tool. Students aiming for this field will supplement their background in seismic theory with electives that focus on subsurface structures and processes and industry techniques. These students will be prepared for graduate study, as well as service jobs in the oil and gas industry between their undergraduate and graduate education. Additional recommended classes include GEOL 306, GEOL 404 and PETE 311. Qualified students may also take related graduate courses during the senior year, including GEOP 629, GEOP 631 and GEOP 620. Students interested in seismic theory may take additional math classes, such as MATH 417, MATH 407 and MATH 414.
