modules

This module will introduce the fundamental concepts, techniques and results of applied geophysics. If you have ever wondered why graphite deposits can be mistaken for sulphide ores in geophysical surveys, what the best methods are to detect subsurface oil/gas reservoirs on land or at sea, how we can use micro-variations in gravity to delineate cave systems, or what the best geophysical techniques for mineral exploration or volcano monitoring are, this course is for you. The course is recommended as a valuable theoretical background to many subsequent and parallel modules, and will include a science communication project.  Pre-requisite modules for this module are: Mathematics 1A (CSM1027 ) or Quantitative Methods for Geoscientists (CSM1041 ) PLUS Dynamic Planet (CSM1042 ) or Earth System Science (GEO1405 b). There are no co-requisite modules. This module may be suitable for non-specialist students or interdisciplinary pathways.
