Geophysics fieldwork
Licence Sciences de la TerreParcours Geology, geophysics, georesources (UFAZ) (délocalisé en Azerbaïdjan)

Description

This module mainly consists of a geophysical field work allowing students to familiarize themselves with several geophysical imaging methods. After a brief classroom introduction, students are separated into small groups and have the opportunity to acquire geophysical data at the same site using different instruments (seismic, electrical resistivity, gravimetry, radar). These data are analyzed in class after the field camp.
 

Compétences requises

An understanding of the main geophysical methods: seismic, electrical, electromagnetism, gravimetric and magnetic.

Compétences visées

By the end of this class students should be able to:

·        Deploy geophysical equipment in the field.

·        Control the quality of the data in the field.

·        Process the data after the field.

·        Interpret the data.

·        Present the results orally.

Syllabus

Electrical Resistivity tomography (ERT). Time Domain Electromagnetic Method (TDEM). Seismic. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). Potential methods (Gravimetric and Magnetic).
