Measuring the vertical gradient of gravity part of Structural Geology and Tectonics:Structure, Geophysics, and Tectonics 2012:Activities
The free-air effect tells us that as elevation above sea level increases, gravitational acceleration g decreases at the rate of about 0.3086 mgal/meter. This effect is routinely corrected for when making gravity ...
Magnetic Survey Lab part of Structural Geology and Tectonics:Structure, Geophysics, and Tectonics 2012:Activities
To do a "magnetic survey" in the lab to understand the nature of magnetic anomalies, and to plot the data using profiles and contour maps.
Course (1)
Physics of the Earth part of Structural Geology and Tectonics:Structure, Geophysics, and Tectonics 2012:Courses
To gain a basic understanding of physics applied to the solid earth. (For this course, the "solid earth" will exclude the atmosphere, ionosphere, and hydrosphere, although these could be included in a ...
