Courses

 

Physics of the Earth’s interior

 

An overview of the structures and compositions as well as the states of the Earth’s interior. Topics include velocity construction of the earth, density, elasticity, equation of states, composition of the Earth’s interior, high-pressure mineral physics, the internal heat and temperature, and electromagnetic properties.

 

Marine Geology

 

An introduction to geologicalphysicalchemical and biological processes of the ocean floor and coastal margins. Topics involve plate tectonics, the structure of oceanic lithosphere, Coastal processes and the structure of continental margins, and past ocean circulation patterns.

 

Seminar in advanced physics of Earth’s interior

 

A graduate seminar that discusses very recent advances in mineral physics and geophysical observations to the earth’s interior such as seismology and MT methods.
