This
course is designed to identify the importance and use of the gravity survey
method in geophysical exploration for oil and minerals and for different types
of objects and geological structures, through the collection and processing of
data and the interpretation of gravity survey maps.
Intended learning outcomes
By studying the course, the student will be able to:
It recognizes the
methods of gravitational scanning and the most important physical factors
that affect the values and shape of the anomaly.
Computes the necessary
corrections of field data to obtain the Buger anomaly.
Identifies ways to
process and model data using processing and modeling systems
Identifies the method of
gravity scanning and the most important physical factors that affect the
values and shape of the anomaly.
Be able to apply survey
types for exploration to different types of objects and geological
structures and how they are designed.
He can calculate the
necessary corrections of field data to get the Buger anomaly.
Acquire the skills of
using the special system to calculate the values of anomalies of different
bodies and geological structures and study the most important factors that
affect the values and shape of anomalies.
Learn about data
processing methods and the use of the processing system for this.
Understand methods of
interpreting and modeling data and using the modeling system.
