Talk:Geophysical engineering

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think this specialty does exist: [1] Tom Harrison ^Talk 22:17, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. Engineering is about the design and construction of things, and the various sites I looked at are all basically about the use of geophysics as a way of obtaining data. There's no design element involved. The article is one sentence long, and doesn't say anything which would be of use to anyone, or I'd consider renaming the article to Applied geophysics, which is a real specialty.

The Colorado School of Mines offers an MS and PhD in geophysical engineering. Tom Harrison ^Talk 12:18, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I suspect a case of engineering inflation, which is a little odd, since geophysics is harder than geotechnical engineering. But anyway, the article is one sentence long, and hasn't had a substantive edit since it was created in November 2006. I'm going to take this one to AfD.

I wish I knew a geophysicist I could recruit to Wikipedia, because all the articles on geophysics here are crap. Argyriou (talk) 15:58, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't care particularly, since as you say there is little enough here, but it might be easier to just redirect it somewhere. Tom Harrison ^Talk 16:00, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
