Course content
The course is focused on practical use of near surface geophysical methods. Students will be familiarized with the theoretical basis of individual methods, including their implementation in geological survey. The field stage will follow subsequently. Following methods will be used: ground penetrating radar, electrical resistivity tomography, dipole electromagnetic profiling, seismic reflection and refraction. Measured data will be processed on a PC using specialized software. The main aim will be data interpretation in respect of geological structures.
