| Learning objectives | ||||
| Mastering the basic theoretical and practical aspects of modeling in geophysics, as well as basic knowledge of geophysical research methods, which most often used in solving problems in geological practice, such as electrometric and seismometric method, but also other applied methods such as gravimetric, morphometric and magnetometric research method. | ||||
| Learning outcomes | ||||
| Acquiring sufficient knowledge for a proper understanding of geophysical research concepts. Development awareness of the necessity of applying geophysical explorations, which, in the modern approach to geological research, obtain continuously distributed data - non-destructively, cheaper and faster. Recognizing all the advantages and limitations that exist during geophysical performance, so that geological research can be carried out optimally and efficiently. | ||||
| Content | ||||
| - Theory of geophysical modeling, genetics, tropism, models, relevant dimensions, - Geophysical signal, information, data, direct modeling, idealization, simulation - Inverse modeling, acquisition, geophysical reconstruction, interpolation, extrapolation - Procedures in geophysical modeling, filtering, horizontal gradient - Gravitational field of the Earth - basic settings. Gravimetric method - Earth's magnetic field – basic settings. Magnetometric method - Electric field. Electrical properties of rocks. and minerals. Electrometric method - Electrometric arrangements, types of 1D curves, modeling of electrometric data - Propagation of waves through an elastic medium - basic settings. Seismometric method - Refractive seismometric profiling, direct modeling of the hodochron. - Relief, DEM, DSM, DTM, DMR, Morphometric method - Refine BDMR, splitting the spectrum into high, medium and low frequencies - Seismology – determination of earthquake parameters. Intensity and magnitude of the earthquake - Consequences of seismic shocks, concept of aseismic construction, Eurocode 8 - Application of complex geophysical tests in the form of logging or remote sensing - Final exam - Certification of the semester and registration of grades | ||||
| Teaching Methods | ||||
| Lectures and exercises are done on the blackboard, and with the use of computer presentations, which are exchanged among students, thus facilitating the learning process. Active participation of students is required through public, multimedia defense of seminar papers. The exercises accompany the lectures, which ensures a better understanding and mastery of the material. | ||||
