Basic concepts and terms of theoretical geophysics, classification of geophysical methods and their studied parameters Methods of work with field geophysical instruments and laboratory equipment Processing and basics of geological interpretation of geophysical data Principles of quantitative analysis of geophysical data Measure, process and describe the results of geophysical observations and explain their relationship with geological and anthropogenic objects Apply physical parameters of rocks to analyze natural processes and geological composition of rocks To be able to organize a team geophysical survey for the effective solution of the task Understand personal responsibility for professional decisions that can provide information about the geological environment
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Knowledge of theoretical foundations of physics, mathematics and general geology.
Course content
The course focuses on the theoretical and physical foundations of geophysical methods, applied geophysics, and the principles of instrumentation and measurement techniques. Approaches to solving direct and inverse problems of geophysics are considered; methods of qualitative and quantitative interpretation are explained using individual examples. Areas of application of geophysical methods are presented using real-life examples. The general principles of formulating geophysical problems, a review of ways to implement them, and the effectiveness of their application are included.
