| Learning Outcome: | Understand advanced geophysical methods for subsurface exploration. Gain practical skills in applying geophysical methods in real fieldwork scenarios, including magnetometry, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), and electromagnetics for data acquisition and interpretation Learn to process and interpret geophysical data including airborne data. Develop expertise in using specialized software. Evaluate the efficiency of different geophysical methods in various field conditions. Analyze and mitigate common issues encountered during geophysical surveys. |
| Contents: | Lecture: The lecture component of this course will provide an overview of advanced geophysical investigation methods used in subsurface exploration. It will cover the principles of magnetometry, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), geoelectrics and electromagnetic methods, along with an introduction to radiometry and its applications in natural resource exploration. Students will learn about data acquisition techniques for both ground and airborne geophysical surveys, and explore the challenges associated with data interpretation. Additionally, the lecture will address typical workflows used in the processing of geophysical data to ensure accurate results. Practical Training: The practical training component will focus on providing hands-on experience in fieldwork, utilizing magnetometry, GPR, geoelectric, electromagnetic instruments. Students will actively participate in data acquisition and analysis using specialized software. They will gain experience in processing, and learn how to apply these methods effectively in real exploration scenarios. Practical training will also include the development of field reports and presentations based on data collected during field activities, helping students to refine their skills in communicating technical results. |
