Treatment of fundamental aspects of geophysics in the areas of gravimetry and geomagnetism: methods and applications.

This course focuses on the Earth’s magnetic field and the magnetization recorded in rocks as a way to study its past. In addition to mineral magnetism, field and laboratory methods, and data analysis are covered, as well as the wide range of applications of magnetic methods in Earth sciences, e.g. magnetostratigraphy, studies of the early Earth, geodynamics or structural and tectonic studies.

The course will cover basic physical theory related to mineral and rock magnetism, measurement techniques, and applications in earth and soil sciences, climatology and biophysics
