Teaching Near-Surface Geophysics to Undergraduates Workshop
Issued by
EarthScope Consortium
The earner of this badge participated in a workshop focused on theoretical and practical skills in near-surface geophysics. Participants learned to design and conduct geophysical surveys using methods such as ground-penetrating radar (GPR), seismic surveying, electrical resistivity, and GPS/GNSS. Through hands-on experience and applied exercises, they processed and interpreted data to address real-world geoscience topics, including natural hazards and groundwater management.
