Soil Investigation for Wind Farms

Lecture / Seminar Block:
Principles of geophysical concepts for methods applied in the renewable offshore industry;
geophysical project planning with emphasis on the acquisiton, processing and interpretation of data;
joint Interpretation of typical geophysical data types incl. hydro-acoustic/seismoacoustic data in the in the framework of offshore construction work related of wind farms;
interdiscplinary analysis of geophysical and geotechnical data.

Familiarization with geophyscial data interpretation (main focus on hydroacoustic and seismocacoustic data sets)
Qualitative and quantitative concepts of joint data interpretation (both different geophysical data types and geophysical/geotechnical data)
Basic understanding of geophysical project planning and geophysical workflows (acquisition/processing/interpretation)
[Add outcomes of Project.]
