Subcategories

• EMTDC - an electro-magnetic transients simulation
• Extraterrestrial phenomena - phenomena taking place beyond the bounds of Earth
• Geophysical measurement techniques - methods for obtaining quantitative data about geophysical phenomena, including transient electromagnetics and magnetotellurics
• Geophysical measurements - measurements of geophysical factors
• Geophysics computing - high-speed computations that help analyze aspects of the geophysical data, using techniques such as 3D modeling

• Meteorology - the scientific study of the atmosphere
• Moisture - the amount of water in a given object or environment
• Seismology - the scientific study of earthquakes and the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth
• Surface waves - a mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between two different medias
• Tornadoes - a violent rotating storm that is in contact with both a cloud and the ground
• Tsunami - a series of large water waves caused by the displacement of a large body of water
• Well logging - the making of a detailed log concerning the geologic formations penetrated by a borehole
