Program Summary
Applied Geophysics is a course that involves the use of physical methods to study the Earth's subsurface for practical purposes such as natural resource exploration, environmental assessment, and geotechnical investigations. It covers techniques like seismic, magnetic, electrical, and gravitational surveys to locate minerals, oil and gas, groundwater, and to assess geological hazards. Students learn data acquisition, processing, interpretation, and modeling of geophysical data. The course equips graduates with skills for careers in oil and gas, mining, environmental consulting, engineering geology, and research institutions.
