Electrical, Electromagnetic and Gravimetric Methods for Environmental and Exploration

Knowledge and understanding: learn the basic knowledge of potential field methods; acquire the terminology pertinent to electric, magnetic, electromagnetic and gravimetric methods; learn how to implement simple scripts for data processing and visualization. Applying knowledge and understanding: the acquired knowledge allows to approach correctly the design and the implementation of a geophysical survey carried out with potential field methods, to give the answer to a problem in the field of applied geophysics; furthermore, the student acquires the skills to implement simple scripts for processing and visualization of geophysical data and to use complex inversion software.

Making judgements: the student can evaluate autonomously the E & EM and potential-field geophysical methodologies that can be applied for exploration purposes, knowing the advantages, the disadvantages and the limitations. Communication skills: the student can clearly communicate the topics of potential-field geophysical methods, the difficulties encountered in the application of the different methodologies and the possible solutions. He/she can interact with the experts in this field. Learning skills: Give the student the ability to learn autonomously topics that cannot be dealt with

during the lessons due to the limited time available and give him/her the ability to deepen the ones discussed.
