Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course is designed to introduce you to the near-surface geophysical methods and the application of these methods to environmental and hydrogeological investigations. The geophysical methods covered will include ‘electrical-based’ methods and nuclear magnetic resonance and seismic/seismological methods. From the principles of these technologies to current environmental geophysics literature, you will learn about subsurface rock’s physical properties, geophysical properties of soils and rocks, relationships between hydrogeological and geophysical properties, and environmental applications (e.g., depth of aquifers, groundwater flow, contaminant transport, and microbe-mineral interactions) of geophysical methods. This course combines lectures, literature review and discussion, and student presentations.
Assessment and permitted materials
This is a graduate class and will require significant self-motivation and independent study in preparation for the weekly meetings. Students will be assessed based on class participation, assignments, exam, and presentation.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Minimum requirements: knowledge of the topics of the course.
More than 75% of the class meeting attendance is required to pass this course.
Assessment criteria: grade better/equal than/to 4 (50%) for the overall grade.
minimum 50 percent of all assignments.
> 91%=1
81- 90%=2
75- 80%=3
50- 74%=4
0- 49.99%=5 (failed, i.e., you need to repeat the whole course)
