教学目标
Course Objectives
关注海洋地球物理学发展趋势和前沿研究内容，让学生在掌握海洋地球物理理论和方法（包括重
力、电磁、地震、地热等）的基础上，了解与海洋地球科学相关的前沿科学问题，培养和巩固学
生利用地球物理方法解决海洋和地球科学的科学问题能力和应用地球物理技术的能力。此外，让
学生了解当前这一学科的国内外重大科学计划，培养学生进行海洋与地球科学的兴趣和热情。
This course focuses on the development trend and cutting-edge research of marine geophysic
s. Students can understand the
frontier issues related to marine geosciences on the basis of mastering marine geophysical theories and methods, including
gravity, electromagnetism, earthquake, geothermal, etc. This course will cultivate and consolidate st
udents' ability to use
geophysical methods to solve scientific problems in ocean and earth sciences. In addition, we will introduce the current majo
r
domestic and foreign scientific programs in the field of marine geophysics so that students' interest and
enthusiasm in marine
and earth sciences can be cultivated.
教学方法
Teaching Methods
在教授讲授海洋地球物理学基础之上；学生按研究方向对于海洋地球物理的前沿学术论文进行阅
读、报告并讨论.
In addition to the traditional “teaching & listening” style, students will have opportunities to read the
journal papers in the marine geophysics based on their research interests, and discuss them in class.
