No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1993–94 to 1994–95 (before that, 1973–74 to 1982–83 used the number for Introduction to Applied Geophysics and Applied Geophysics 1); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Principles of seismology, geomagnetism, heat flow and gravity applied to problems such as earth structure and earthquake prediction. A quantitative discussion of plate tectonics.
As printed in the 1993–94 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
Requirements, as last listed
Prereq: EARTH 121/121L, 122/122L or GEO E 126, PHYS 121/122 or equivalent
