Geophysical Field Exercise

Practical geophysical field measurements in groups of 8 during a two-day station field exercise in the Borgfelder Wümmewiesen.
After division into e.g. 4-8 groups of 8 people (depending on the number of participants), each group carries out two methods over 4 hours on two days according to a general plan.

- carry out practical, case-dependent, meaningful measurement strategies on an engineering geophysical scale and evaluate them in an elementary manner
- create methodically correct and linguistically and graphically appealing reports of your own field measurements using evaluation and graphics software

In each group of 8, teams of two students take over the evaluation of the results of a half-day, i.e. one method. The processed data and the report written on them are submitted online via Stud.IP by the submission date and evaluated by the site organizers according to the written requirements.
