| Course Description | Prerequisites: Required: at least a semester of calculus and physics; any 1000-level or 2000-level EESC course. Recommended: EESC3201 (Solid Earth Dynamics). Computer models are essential for understanding the behavior of complex natural systems in geosciences. This course is an introduction to writing computer models to simulate Earth processes. Students will learn methods for numerical modeling of a variety of geoscience topics, such as geochemical diffusion, groundwater flow, glacier growth, ocean currents and more. Simulations will be created by learning to program using a modern user-friendly programming language. Student learning will be facilitated through a combination of lectures, in-class exercises, homework assignments and a final project on a student-selected topic. |
