This
course introduces geophysics graduate students and
interested seniors to geophysical techniques used
predominantly by the mining industry in exploring
for new ore deposits. The course will also emphasize
the applications of these techniques to the petroleum,
environmental and engineering fields. The methods
studied include gravity, magnetic,
electrical, radiometric and borehole
techniques. Emphasis of the techniques and their
applications are tailored based on student interest.
The course, intended for geophysics students, as
well as interested students from related departments,
emphasizes the theoretical basis of each technique,
as well as the instrumentation used and data collection,
processing and interpretation procedures specific
for each technique. The class will meet twice a
week for 1½ hours each. The scheduled times
will be decided at an organizational meeting in
the first week of classes in order to accommodate
everyone’s schedule. |
