ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The goal of research in this area is to advance understanding of Earth structure
and evolution through the application of physical principles. Activities include
experimental, theoretical, computational, and field studies applied to
fundamental research, and to the economic development and environmental
protection of our planet.

The wide variety of research in Geophysics at the University of Alberta includes
both fundamental and more applied geophysical science projects. Current research
focuses on the field of geophysical data processing, theoretical and applied
seismology, earthquake studies, geodynamics, geomagnetism and paleomagnetism,
magnetotellurics, environmental geophysics, geothermal energy, climatology and
planetary geophysics.
