Earth Physics

To provide the students with a basic knowledge of the physical phenomena occurring on the Earth and on the theoretical and experimental methods to study these processes. A specific focus will be on the improvement of students' skills on the physical investigation of Earth transport phenomena, also with reference to applied and environmental issues.

The student will be able
1. to read and understand scientific papers and books which the themes treated during the lectures;
2. to read and evaluate technical reports for practical applications of geophysical techniques;
3. to deal with problems related to process phenomena (mass, energy, momentum, etc.) with a critical view.
