RELEVANT COURSEWORK

In detail:

Seismic Methods - Boise State University August 2015 – December 2015

● Comprehensive discussion of modern seismic methods for subsurface investigation and exploration of the tools/resources required for seismic data analysis

● Applications are mostly related to near surface targets, including geotechnical engineering, hydrogeology, and imaging complex structures - including exploration (mining and petroleum), earthquakes, and deep earth imaging methods

● Completing final project associating acquired borehole and other seismic data to local geology in area near university Hydrology - Boise State University August 2015 – December 2015

● Interdisciplinary earth science concerned with the movement and occurrence of water on earth that is important as both a science and engineering discipline

● Investigated the general hydrologic processes with an emphasis on the transport processes that operate in watersheds including precipitation, evapotranspiration, streamflow, snow accumulation and melt, vadose zone flow, runoff generation, and groundwater flow

● Studied the physics underlying each process, methods to measure or estimate water flux and storage mechanisms, techniques to solve water resource problems that are important to both the earth scientist and engineer, and connections to geological and biological processes
