GEOPHYSICS. AN OVERVIEW OF PROSPECTING METHODS. Dr. Marķa Cristina Pomposiello Principal Researcher at National Council of Scientific and Technical Research (CONICET), Institute of Geochronology and Isotopic Geology (INGEIS), CONICET The Earth is comprised of materials that have different physical properties. Clay and granite, for example, have different densities, acoustic velocities, elastic parameters, electrical conductivities, magnetic susceptibilities, and dielectric constants. The science of geophysics applies the principles of physics to the study of the Earth. Geophysical investigations of the interior of the Earth involve taking measurements at or near the Earth's surface that are influenced by the internal distribution of physical properties. Analysis of these measurements can reveal how the physical properties of the Earth's interior vary vertically and laterally. Geophysical prospecting methods provide information on the distribution of certain physical parameters in the subsurface, which can be linked to the direct observations and are applied in different applications such as mineral, oil, groundwater, geothermal and geological explorations.This talk provides a general introduction to the most important geophysical prospecting methods. |
