Aims |
|
This module aims to enable students to gain an understanding in the basic principles and practise of exploration geophysics. |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) On successful completion of the module, students should be capable of explaining the principles of seismic refraction and reflection, electrical and electromagnetic methods, gravity and magnetic surveying and well logging. |
|
(LO2) On successful completion of the module students should be able to identify which geophysical technique(s) should be applied to the solution of specific geological and environmental problems. |
|
(LO3) On successful completion of the module students should be able to carry out simple interpretations of data derived from the application of these geophysical methods. |
