Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Earth Science - Geophysics] From University of California

Geophysics is the study of the Earth by quantitative physical methods. Students who choose the Geophysics major employ field, laboratory and computational methods to study the problems in Earth Science. Geophysics includes geodesy, geomagnetism, hydrology, mineral physics, seismology, and volcanology, among other fields. Geophysics uses analytical and mathematical, rather than purely descriptive, techniques.
