Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Knowledge of the theoretical foundations of physics, mathematics, geometry and geophysics.
Course content
The program of the discipline focuses on applied geophysics and methods of measuring work. Approaches to solving direct and inverse problems are considered. Methods of qualitative and quantitative interpretation are explained by individual anomalies. Areas of application of engineering geophysics on real examples are characterized. The review includes general principles of setting geophysical problems, an overview of ways to implement them and efficiency.
Recommended or required reading and other learning resources/tools
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, practical classes, independent student work
Assessment methods and criteria
The control is carried out according to the modular rating system and includes: practical work (where students must demonstrate the quality of acquired knowledge and solve problems using the methods and tools outlined by the teacher) and conducting 3 written modular tests. The final assessment is conducted in the form of a written exam.
