Applied Geophysics - Methods

Applied geophysical surveys are the most cost-efficient methods to determine physical properties of the subsurface, and various physical principles are used. In the course we introduce into 6 different fields, dealing with advanced applications and exercises. Potential field methods and wave-based imaging are included. The topics are closely related to the active research at Bremen University and AWI Bremerhaven, including e.g. aerogeophysical surveys, deep seismic sounding, radar and seismic imaging. Practical skills are to be developed in 6 different exercises, three of them can be chosen to be graded.

1) Deepen the knowledge from bachelor courses on various applied geophysical approaches
2) Train analytical and numerical skills to handle complex geophysical data in exercises
3) Present results of exercises in various forms
