Summary

Subject Applied Geophysics Geophysics follows the course of undergraduate studies. Expanding basic knowledge of selected geophysical methods, including geoelectric (method of resistance profiling, vertical electrical sounding, resistivity tomography and GPR) and seismic (method of direct, reflected and broken waves method seism acoustic). Along with gravimetric methods, radionuclide, magnetic and thermal methods and selected well log methods then students are acquainted with the appropriate complex of geophysical methods used in solving specific tasks in engineering geology, hydrogeology, bearing exploration and ecology. Students can handle data processing and interpretation measurements.

Subject syllabus:

1. Gravimetric method - derived gravity field, regional and residual anomalies, interpretation of gravimetric measurements. 2. Magnetometric methods - field measurements, interpretation of magnetic anomalies. 3. Geoelectric methods - DC, potential, electromagnetic. 4. Data processing, interpretation of measurements. 5. Seismic methods - data processing method and the angle of reflected waves, interpretation of seismic measurements. 6. Methods of radionuclide - processing field measurements (gamma survey,emanation methods). 7. Calibrating radiometric apparatus. 8. Geothermal methods - methods of field measurements and their interpretation. 9.-13. Using the proposed complex geophysical methods, including well logs are solved the following problems: an assessment of the physical condition of the rock mass, its stress-straincondition, engineering geological map compilation, reconnaissance stability of slopes , trails linear structures , foundation soils survey , the survey of hydraulic engineering and underground construction. 14. Survey hydrogeological structure, hydrogeological parameters determining the geological bodies and aquifers.
