Geophysics
Geophysics: a subject of natural science concerned with the physical processes and physical properties of the Earth and its surrounding space environment, and the use of quantitative methods for their analysis. Geophysicists study Earth processes through a combination of laboratory experiments, computational and theoretical modeling, remote imaging, and direct observation. Geophysics is applied to societal needs, such as mineral resources, mitigation of natural hazards and environmental protection.
