  • GEOL 4191: Meth Petrol Geol

    3.00 Credits
    University of Wyoming

    A strongly exercised-based course designed to give the student experience with subsurface geoscientific data interpretation. Most exercises utilize real data and focus on petroleum exploration and production, but have application to any kind of subsurface geologic study. Topics include: geophysical well log interpretation; subsurface pressure analysis; subsurface correlation and mapping techniques. Prerequisite: GEOL4190 or 5190.

  • GEOL 4250: Mathematical Geosciences

    3.00 Credits
    University of Wyoming

    The purpose of this course is to strengthen the quantitative skills of students in geosciences by reviewing basic concepts of linear algebra, precalculus, derivation and integration through applications to real datasets and problem sets, and introducing basic concepts of inverse theory, spatial science, data analytics, and geostatistics. The examples focus on applications to practical geoscience problems. Prerequisites: MATH 1400 and 1405.
