Lecture Overview

The course walks through the subsurface geophysical toolbox one method at a time. Each module combines an interactive lecture, hands-on activities, and quick concept demos. Work through them in order, or jump straight to the method you need.

Teach with the active-learning slide lessons

Tools open full screen

Every simulator and activity opens as its own full-page tool. The bar at the top of each tool shows where you are, lists the other apps in the module in learning-path order, and has Prev and Next buttons; ← Home brings you back to the course.
