This seminar course will provide an introduction to the energy transition broadly defined, but focusing primarily on it’s impact and importance in the earth sciences. Once a week an invited expert will give a 50-minute lecture on topics that may include: carbon capture and sequestration, carbon markets, geothermal energy, climate change, hydrogen, energy storage, critical minerals, ecological impacts of resource extraction, hydrocarbon sustainability, water resources, energy systems and sustainable development, energy transition policy, and energy transition economics. Topics and speakers will change each year. There are no prerequisites for this course and undergraduate and graduate students do not have to have an earth science background. Cross-list: EEPS 480, EEPS 680. Repeatable for Credit.

Study of the principles and procedures involved in geophysical exploration. Includes acquisition, processing, and interpretation of seismic, ground-penetrating radar, gravity, magnetic, and electrical data. Cross-list: EEPS 648. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for EEPS 448 if student has credit for EEPS 648/ESCI 442/ESCI 642.
