地球物理学是一门定量化和仪器化的学科，它通过研究地震波，地球磁场和引力场的变化以及地球的自转来研究地球的内部结构和过程。学生可以使用圣路易斯大学地震中心。地震中心是监视新马德里地震带的区域网络和监视世界各地地震活动的全球网络的一部分。SLU还是“全球地球动力学项目”的所在地，该项目记录了全球多个站点的地球重力场，并维护了所有超导重力仪的部署标准。地球物理课程的学生在固体地球科学方面打下了坚实的基础，并学习了矿物学，岩石学（岩石研究）和结构地质学课程。在此基础上建立以地震学为重点的高级地球物理课程，可确保学
Geoscience is the study of the Earth and includes the fields of geology, geophysics and environmental science. Volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, landslides and plate tectonics are some of the things that geoscientists investigate and try to understand. Saint Louis University's Bachelor of Science in Geophysics is offered through its Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. <br><br>Geophysics is a quantitative and instrument-oriented discipline that investigates the Earth's internal structure and processes by studying seismic waves and variations in the planet's magnetic and gravitational fields, as well as its rotation.<br><br>Additional program highlights include:<br><br> Students have access to the Saint Louis University Earthquake Center. The Earthquake Center is part of both a regional network that monitors the New Madrid seismic zone and a global network to monitor seismicity around the world.<br> SLU is also home to the Global Geodynamics Project, which records the Earth's gravity field at a number of worldwide stations and maintains standards for the deployment of all superconducting gravimeters.
