CEE 192: Laboratory Characterization of Properties of Rocks and Geomaterials (EPS 230, GEOPHYS 162, GEOPHYS 259)

Course Description

(Formerly GEOLSCI 230) Lectures and laboratory experiments. Properties of rocks and geomaterials and how they relate to chemo-mechanical processes in crustal settings, reservoirs, and man-made materials. Focus is on properties such as porosity, permeability, acoustic wave velocity, and electrical resistivity. Students may investigate a scientific problem to support their own research (4 units). Prerequisites: Physics 41 (or equivalent) and CME 100. Change of Department Name: Earth and Planetary Science (Formerly Geologic Sciences).
