Students have the option to obtain a general geophysics degree or to choose of the of three concentrations to focus their studies.Upon graduation, a student is expected to be able to address geophysical problems using the principles of conservation of energy, mass and momentum using both physical and mathematical concepts, particularly with respect to mathematical techniques such as linear algebra, vector calculus and partial differential equations. Students will gain the necessary knowledge to explain physical processes underlying the Earth’s global scale features, including plate tectonics and the gravitational and magnetic fields;
