Curriculum

The curriculum is defined by the Compendium, the Lectures, the Projects and previous Exams.

The Compendium: Bayesian Spatial Inversion - H.Omre, T.M.Fjeldstad and O.B.Forberg - will be distributed in lectures.

The Lectures: Some additional material will be available on this web-site.

The Projects: See Project page on this web-site.

Previous Exams: See Exam page on this web-site.
