Computational Geosciences
Minor in the Jackson School of Geosciences
The Computational Geosciences Minor provides a selection of courses that will establish an understanding of computational methods in geosciences.
The courses in this minor emphasize the understanding of geophysical and geochemical laws and their equations. Students completing this minor will gain knowledge on how to solve such equations, both analytically and numerically, to solve specific geoscience problems (e.g., transport in porous media to study pollutant plumes, wave equation to study earthquakes and seismic methods). Students will use high-level programming tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python).
