Prerequisite: By permission of instructor; this course assumes a working knowledge of multivariable calculus, linear algebra, basic statistics, and experience with computer programming.

This graduate-level seminar explores advanced topics in geophysics through in-depth reading and discussion of both classic and contemporary research papers, fostering a deep understanding of foundational concepts and emerging discoveries. Students will engage with a range of subjects spanning seismology, potential fields methods, and Earth structure while critically evaluating scientific developments across time. In addition to discussions, participants will engage in hands-on exercises such as forward modeling and seismogram readings to connect theory with practical applications in modern geophysical research.
