Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student knows the internal structure of the Earth from a physical (seismic, gravimetric, thermal, magnetic) point of view and the tectonophysical processes that shaped it. The student knows the main rheological models for the Earth interior, the main exploration methods that allowed to define the Earth structure and the still open questions.
The student is capable to apply these concepts to the basic interpretation of data acquired by means of the methodologies described above.
