This course serves to deliver knowledge on tools for 3D characterization, visualization and modelling of the subsurface. The development of homogeneous 3D subsurface information systems is important for various fields such as for environmental monitoring, soil studies, groundwater, natural hazards, and earth resources.
Many earth processes have a source or a component below the surface. Understanding of the spatial and temporal variation of physical parameters in the subsurface therefore gives additional insight in these processes and their extent. This could be the extent of pollution plumes, distribution of water, nutrients, mineral resources, or e.g. sliding planes of landslides.
The course offers possibility to specialize in two geophysical methods and study these in detail, and final project.
