Teaching oriented geophysical software

Interactive teaching techniques encourage students to adopt an active role in their education and should therefore be used at different levels of the teaching sequence. In order to mitigate the lack of educational software fo r Applied Geophysics, a fully interactive graphic software has been develop ed. The program is written in Visual Basic with some subroutines in FORTRAN and is designed for IBM-PC microcomputers using a Windows environment. The program offers the majority of the processes involved in geophysical data handling, modelling, tutorials, and instrument simulators. (C) 2000 Elsevie r Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
