About the course
This is an introductory course in applied geophysical methods and rock physics for students with a solid geology/earth science or math and physics background. The course gives an introduction to geophysical prospecting techniques, processing, modelling and interpretation of geophysical data and the physical properties of rocks and soils. Lectures and field components are partly shared with the course Applied and environmental geophysics.
