Daily/Course Log
Daily/Course Log page.
Handouts, notes, and comments about our weekly lab and class meetings. For example, this page is used to distribute copies of any course materials related to a particular lab or class meeting. More general resources for topic can be found on the corresponding Topical Pages, the Data Library page, etc.
Topical Pages
Note that the topical pages are not meant to be primary learning resources in and of themselves - you have reading assignments for that. They are designed to provide you (1) the topic references (reading assignments/resources), and (2) various bits of supplementary information to the main readings. In this sense they organize and supplement.

Application areas of near-surface geophysics
Our course focuses strongly on the application of NSG to groundwater/hydrogeology. However many areas of application of the same methods exist. Some areas are linked to below in various states of detail (and of course the list will always be incomplete).
- Near-surface Geophysics for the Geotechnical Engineer
- Mineral Resources and Exploration
- Enhanced Geothermal Systems
Further Geophysical Methods
We won't have time cover these this term, but some of these will be added to the semester curriculum beginning in Fall 2026.
