| Kurzbeschreibung | The 'Methods' part of 'Geophysical Fieldwork and Processing' provides an overview over the most common methods used in Applied Geophysics. Theoretical and conceptual aspects as well as data acquisition and processing of the methods used in the other two parts of the course are introduced. |
| Lernziel | Students should (1) acquire a basis knowledge on theory and working principles of the most common techniques in Applied Geophysics and (2) acquire the necessary knowledge to plan, conduct, process and document a near-surface geophysics survey. |
| Inhalt | The course is divided into four parts: 1. Introduction to the course held in the lecture hall (first lecture) 2. Online lectures and quizzes covering short reviews of the theory, techniques, acquisition and processing of: - Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) - Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) - Magnetic Surveying - Electromagnetic Induction Surveying - Seismic Refraction Tomography There will be a questions-and-answers session held in the lecture hall before the exam (second last lecture). 3. Practical exercise and field equipment demonstration (outdoor; location and date will be communicated during the introduction lecture). Participation in the practical exercise is a REQUIREMENT. 4. Written examination during the last lecture. A pass in this exam is a REQUIREMENT to continue with the second part of the course 651-4106-03L Geophysical Field Work and Processing: Preparation and Field Work. |
| Skript | Available over the ETH online lecture Moodle page. Link will be given during the first lecture. |
