Geophysical models are defined as "physical-mathematical descriptions of temporal and/or spatial changes in important geological variables, as derived from accepted laws, theories, and empirical relationships.
In climate science, atmospheric, oceanic, and general circulation models are a crucial standby for researchers.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) defines remote sensing as the measurement of some property by transmitting some type of radiation at a distance, and measuring the emitted and reflected radiation.
Remote sensing can involve satellites, cameras, and sound wave emission.
In Canada, computational geophysics is offered as a university major in the form of a BSc (Hon.)
