Detailed Course Content

The course is based on the application of prospecting methods (acquisition, processing and interpretation of experimental geophysical data) for the study of the subsoil with a low and medium depth in an Environmental Geophysics context. For each treated sample prospecting methodology applied to geological problems we are shown. - Electric Method. of spontaneous polarization method. Induced polarization method Tomografie and examples of 1D modeling, 2D 2 3D. Notes on laboratory instrumentation and country. - Seismic Method: application examples; Tomography. Mono- and bi-dimensional modeling of the subsurface. of laboratory instrumentation and campaign signs. - Method Ground Probing Radar (GPR): Theoretical basis of the method, history and the first applications. radar pulses. Configuration GPR surveys in radargrams surface. Instrumentation: characterization of the acquisition system and the antennas. Planning a radar prospecting. data processing. radargrams interpretation. Characterization of radar anomalies in various media; - General information on Magnetic Method and application examples; Instrumentation and country measures; - Application methodology used for the detection of Subterranean cavity; - Contaminated sites:
