About the course

This course is intended for you, who is an employee at a prospecting company or a job seeker with a background in physics or geophysics and who would like to have updated competence in geophysical electromagnetic prospecting methods with measurements from aircraft, on the ground surface and in boreholes. Standard prospecting methods are introduced starting from first principles, compared as to their applicability for different types of mineral deposits and illustrated using case studies published in the literature. There is particular emphasis on borehole electromagnetic methods.
