Dr. Wilson's

Course Resources on the Web

Geophysics curricula generally taught by Dr. Wilson include two annual courses: an introductory level course in gravity, magnetic, terrain conductivity and resistivity methods (Geology 454); and a more advanced level class covering theory, interpretation and applications of seismic and GPR methods (Geology 554). Both these courses highlight the use of computer modeling in geophysical interpretation. Advanced topics in areas of geophysics such as signal processing, seismic stratigraphy, computer modeling, fractal analysis can be offered if sufficient numbers of students express an interest. This usually requires dropping another course. Students should also consider pursuing study of more advanced subject material under a general "independent studies" course listed each semester in the course schedule.  This is a good option especially for those undertaking graduate level research in geophysics or interested to incorporate some geophysical computational approaches into their thesis efforts.
