Fall 2007
The Earth's gravity and magnetic fields provide valuable information on the structure and composition of its interior. This course deals with the application of gravity and magnetic methods to investigation of the Earth's crust, with application to resource exploration, crustal structure, and environmental problems. Lectures will cover both theory behind gravity and magnetics (including potential field theory), as well as practical aspects of acquisition, reduction, interpretation and modeling of gravity and magnetic data.
The laboratory portion of the course will involve acquiring field data with gravimeter and magnetometer, reducing and filtering data, producing 2D and 3D representations of data, and interpreting and modeling data. Students will learn computer techniques for data reduction, analysis, interpretation and modeling.
