05-BGW-PP3-a Principles of Applied Geophysics

Representative Sebastian Uhlemann

Learning Contents:

This module imparts theoretical and practical basics of the most important geophysical methods for subsurface exploration, e.g. seismic, gravity, magnetic, electrical, and radar surveying. Departing from the physical principles and geological premises for each method, we will deal with measurement instrumentation, data processing and interpretation and present typical application scenarios. During a two day field course in the Bremen "Blockland", all participants will practically conduct all introduced methods themselves. Following a data processing scheme, that is prevously trained in class, they analyze and interpret their field data and return their results as a written report.

Learning Outcomes, Targeted Competencies:

Course participants
1) understand the physical principles and geological applicability of the most important wavefront, potential and induction methods in geophysical exploration
2) are able to follow and evaluate the results and basic intentions of geophysical surveys in science and industry
3) are able to propose and carry out a measurement strategies for a given small-scale geophysical exploration issue and to analyze the acquired data in elementary ways
4) write methodologically correct, substantial, stylishly and graphically appealing reports on the their field surveys using basic processing and graphics software
