Advanced Computational Geophysics
Course content
The course will cover several aspects of advanced computational geophysics. The focus will be on mathematical and numerical aspects of wave propagation, potential fields, and diffusion processes. Applications considered in this course will be from seismology, geodesy, numerical geology, and other fields of computational geophysics.
MSc Programme in Climate Change
MSc Programme in Physics
Knowledge:
The course will give the students
- a basic understanding of of the mathematics and numerical techniques of computational geophysics.
Skills:
This course aims to provide the student with skills to
- Compute numerical solutions to simplified wave propagation problems in seismology
- Compute numerical solutions to simplified potential field problems in geodesy and geomagnetism
- Compute numerical solutions to simplified diffusion problems in, e.g., hydrology and sedimentology
- Evaluate the stability and accuracy of numerical schemes
Competences:
The students will be able to
- plan, develop and carry out basic data simulations in computational geophysics.
