Course content
|
Main methods include gravity, magnetism, radioactivity, geothermal, electrical and electromagnetic methods. Practical using of geophysical methods will be presented in the study of various geological and environmental problems. The next part of the course introduces the theory of seismic signal, basics of reflection seismics, basic principles of 2D and 3D reflections seismics, multiples, horizontal and vertical resolutions and practical basics of realizing seismic campaignes. Introduction to the geometry of sedimentary bodies and their seismic image will be presented, as well as image of tectonic structures on the seismic sections, type of oil reservoirs and their possible image on the seismics, depositional sequences, depositional and seismic stratigraphy and sequence boundaries on the seismics - reflection terminations. The theory will be used for practical knowledge on interpretation of 2D and 3D seismics, interpretation of lithology, tectonics from the seismic sections, interpretation of seismic sequences, discussions on the sedimentary history and predictions of oil reservoirs.

Learning outcomes
|
This course provides an introduction to geophysics. The aim is to obtain basic knowledge of physical parameters of the Earth. The theory of physical fields will be described, as well as data acquisition, processing and their interpretation. Overview of geophysical methods will be presented, their principles, advantages and limits.
