Overview

This course is designed to study methods of conductive geoelectric exploration by constant and instantaneous electric current and their applications in different fields. The course also includes the study of the most important geoelectric detectors, methods of deployment of different electrodes, and types of electric survey (horizontal, vertical electric survey).

Intended learning outcomes

By studying the course, the student will be able to:

1. Recognizes the practical and applied aspects of conductive and inductive geoelectric methods.

2. These methods are used in geophysical and geological studies.

3. He can take readings in the field and address errors in the moment.

4. Connects the electrical relationship of the method and field results.
