Applied geophysics


Applied geophysics - a set of physical methods for examining the surface of the Earth's crust, and determining the physical properties of rocks - electrical, mechanical, magnetic, thermal, nuclear and other, based on measurements made on the Earth's surface, drilling wells, the sea.

The results of applied geophysics are used in:

The methods of applied geophysics use:

Geophysical anomalies are an indicator of changes in the physical properties of rocks in the study site compared to the environment. They provide information about the presence of the prospected deposits, the properties of the recognized ground before construction decisions. They point to the occurrence of changes in the rock mass that may threaten the infrastructure that man has created on the surface. They can provide information on changes in the environment associated with the migration of chemical pollutants during geophysical monitoring in space and time.

The oldest part of geophysics is exploration geophysics. Later on, environmental geophysics developed.
