Advanced Electrical, Electromagnetic and Potential Fields Methods

Undergraduate

examines the theory and application of these applied geophysics techniques. Topics include: gravitational and magnetic fields due to distributions of density and magnetization; potential theory, and processing techniques derived from this theory; conservation of charge, Ohm's law and Maxwell's equations for electric and electromagnetic fields in the Earth's subsurface. This course has a laboratory component during which students apply computer modelling and interpretation methods to real-life examples.
