Learning outcomes
Know: basic concepts and terms of magnetometry; classification of magnetometry and its measurement parameters; origin of the Earth's magnetic field and its components; spatial and temporal structure of the geomagnetic field and methods of solving magnetometry problems; analytical representation of the Earth's magnetic field; factors of magnetic variations and ways to take them into account when conducting magnetic surveys; magnetic properties of rocks and minerals; basics of the theory of rock magnetism; laboratory and field methods of measuring magnetic properties of rocks. Measure, process, and conduct initial interpretation of magnetic observations and explain their relationship to geological and man-made objects. Carry out field and laboratory measurements.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Knowledge of theoretical foundations of physics, mathematics, field theory, and mathematical statistics.
Course content
The course focuses on applied magnetometry, as well as the principles of instrumentation and methods of performing measurements, their primary processing, and the detection of magnetic field anomalies. Techniques of qualitative and quantitative interpretation of theoretical and field anomalies are studied. Approaches to solving direct and inverse problems are considered. Applications of magnetometry are characterized using real-world examples. The general principles of setting magnetometric tasks, an overview of ways to implement them, and their effectiveness are included.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture and laboratory classes and independent work of students.
Assessment methods and criteria
The control includes laboratory work and 3 written tests. The final assessment is conducted in the form of a written and oral examination. During the exam, the applicant writes a test and answers questions. The results of students' learning activities are evaluated on a 100-point scale. A student is not admitted to the final assessment if he or she scored less than 20 points during the semester. During the semester, a student can score from 36 to 60 points. During the exam, a student can get from 24 to 40 points.
