KurzbeschreibungIntegrated geophysical investigations; applications of exploration seismic; applications of high-resolution seismic, ground-penetrating radar, magnetic, gravity, electromagnetic, geoelectric and nuclear-magnetic resonance methods; case studies.
LernzielProvide (i) fundamental knowledge of modern methods employed in exploration, engineering and environmental geophysics, (ii) a sound understanding of integrated multidisciplinary approaches for resolving diverse exploration, engineering and environmental problems, and (iii) familiarity with exploration-, engineering- and environment-relevant case histories (national und international).
InhaltA broad range of geophysical methods are employed in exploration, engineering and environmental projects worldwide. After short introductions to various applied geophysical methods, strategies for resolving a wide variety of exploration, engineering and environmental problems are introduced. Themes addressed in exploration geophysics include exploration and evaluation of marine hydrocarbon reservoirs. Themes addressed in engineering geophysics include: remote sensing in archeology, detection of metal pipes, plastic pipes and caverns in the subsurface, and characterizing the shallow underground in regions of major construction. Themes addressed in environmental geophysics include: exploration and evaluation of groundwater reserves, and investigations of potentially dangerous waste disposal sites (e.g. outlining the boundaries and content of poorly documented landfills and studies of sites for the future storage of chemical and radioactive refuse).
