Earth Physics
A.Y. 2018/2019
Learning objectives
Fornire una conoscenza di base sulla fenomenologia dei principali processi fisici che hanno luogo nel pianeta Terra e sui metodi fisici (sperimentali e teorici) di studio. Particolare attenzione sarà rivolta ad aspetti applicativi e agli effetti di scala (dalla scala locale alla scala planetaria).

Introduction to the Earth Sciences.
Phenomenological laws for transport processes in geophysics. Transport phenomena in the Earth: electrical charge (electrical field); ground water; energy (geothermal field); solutes; momentum (elastic field).
Potential fields: Earth's gravity and magnetic fields (basic notions about the electromagnetic field).
