MIN1266 Fundamental of Geophysics
Semester II

The great advantage of geophysics to the geology and mining sector is that it can be used to make a measurement taken at the surface. In fact, geophysics is the only branch of the earth sciences that can truly look into the Earth’s interior, that is remotely detect the presence of buried bodies and structures. In contrast, geology can only infer them. For example are there at depth unsuspected structures such as faults, intrusion, salt domes, mineral deposits, oil and gas reservoirs, all of them can be detected by appropriate geophysical measurement at the surface. Therefore, geophysics is able to add the third dimension, depth, in a way that traditional geologist often cannot. etc..
