Gravity and Magnetic Exploration

GEOP 304 - Gravity and Magnetic Exploration (3-0-3)

Physics of gravity, description of the Earth's gravity field, its temporal variations, and the small-scale perturbations that are the signal of gravity exploration methods, field procedures, data acquisition, correction and processing, basic interpretation techniques, estimation of source parameters for simple anomalies by manual methods and by data inversion and case histories. Physics of magnetism and description of the Earth's magnetic field and its variations in space and time, rock magnetism, instrumentation, survey procedure, interpretation and case histories. Matlab is used for computation and modeling.
