Purpose and description of the content of education:
The Principals of Geophysics module is a short geophysics course showing the relationship between the laws of physics and geology. Based on known physical laws, the student will become familiar with the possibilities of geophysical methods. Using specialised software, the student will analyse electrical resistivity and seismic data as geophysics' most commonly used data type. The student elaborates on the obtained results and presents them as a report. He creates a geophysical model of the centre based on the obtained results and tried to make its geological interpretation under the teacher's guidance.
