This course is
designed to achieve the overall objectives in the form of learning outcomes
that students are expected to acquire after completing the course, as follows:
The
course summarizes the various methods previously studied by providing a summary
of each method's assembly, processing, and interpretation.
This is followed by a field trip lasting 15-20
days, allowing students to apply the practical aspects of each method
individually.
Different
field instruments are used to conduct geophysical surveys using the studied
methods. The collected data is then interpreted in the field.
Geophysical
software is employed to simulate and quantitatively and qualitatively interpret
the results obtained from the surveys.
Intended learning outcomes
completing this
course, it is expected that the student will be proficient in the following
practical and professional skills:
The
ability to identify different geological techniques for creating topographic
and geological maps.
The
ability to read and use various geological maps in the field.
Recognition
of different geological units in the northwest region of Libya.
Recognition
of various geological structures in the northwest region of Libya.
Understanding
the methods of conducting geophysical measurements using geophysical
instruments.
The
ability to refine and interpret these data (both quantitatively and
qualitatively).
Teaching and learning methods
