This introductory course on borehole geophysical methods covers the application of borehole logging and borehole-borehole and borehole-surface seismic, and radar imaging to rock mass and reservoir characterization. The principles of operation of various logging sondes will be covered as well as their application. The emphasis is on geotechnical rather than oil and gas well reservoir engineering.
This course focuses on benefits and limitations of geophysical methods applied to problems of high societal relevance. It is demonstrated, how seismics, ground-penetrating-radar and other electromagnetic methods can be employed in geothermics, the cryosphere, hydrocarbon exploration, natural hazard assessments and radioactive waste disposal problems.
Electromagnetic methods in engineering geophysics
Elektromagnetische Verfahren in der Ingenieurgeophysik
Basic theoretical understanding of electric and electromagnetic exploration methods. Solid knowledge of numerical modelling techniques and instruments employed in the various methods as well as their correct application in engineering and environmental geophysics.
Application of mathematical methods to problems in the (geo)physical sciences. Through exercises, the students learn to apply new and previously acquired mathematical skills, deriving many of the key results themselves. The course focuses on Wavefield methods (Seismics and Georadar), and Potential field methods (Gravity and Magnetics), as well as on Basic reflection imaging.
Fundierte Kenntnisse der Messmethoden in der Ingenieur- und Umwelt- Geophysik. Verständnis von integrierten multidisziplinären Ansätzen zur Lösung von Ingenieur- und Umweltproblemen. Kenntnisse von Ingenieur- und umweltbezogenen Fallbeispielen (national und international).
Mapping aquifers for water supply, identifying archaeological remains for protection, and assessing landslides for geohazard mitigation highlight the critical role of near-surface geophysics. The course ‘Geophysical Field Work and Processing’, split into ‘Methods’, ‘Preparation’, and ‘Field Work’, offers a practice-oriented introduction to conducting near-surface geophysical investigations.
