Applications of potential theory in the interpretation of gravity and magnetic fields; analysis of geophysical anomalies produced by geologic structures and by variation in the physical properties of rocks; use of regional gradients, residual anomalies, higher derivatives and surfaces, line integrals and two and three dimensional models. Prerequisites: GEOL 312; MATH 311 or approval of instructor Credits 3. 3 Lecture Hours.
