Learning Outcomes
- demonstrate knowledge of the measurement and modeling of Earth shape and how it changes over time, and how these are used to study active geophysical processes.
- demonstrate knowledge of applications of space geodetic technologies such as GPS for studying earthquakes, volcanos, continental deformation, plate tectonics, subsidence of natural and anthropogenic origin.
- write software to gather, analyze and interpret data, test hypotheses and present results.
