The specialisation in Advanced Geophysical Methods is intended as a complete foundation in modern geophysics. Students gain a deep understanding of both the principles and industrial application of geophysics that may be used for subsurface characterisation for mining and energy industries, detecting earthquakes, delineating ancient grave sites, defining groundwater systems, assessing a dam wall, or monitoring the movement of fluids deep in the Earth. The specialisation is ideal for those working towards a career as a modern highly skilled geoscientist or geophysicist.
What you'll learn
- have demonstrated narrower knowledge and understanding in a further field of study that is typically at a level that, whilst supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that will be informed by knowledge of the forefront of Geophysics, GC1
- can apply their knowledge and understanding in a manner that indicates a professional approach to the field, and have competencies typically demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments (to both specialist and non-specialist audiences) and solving problems within geophysics, including using digital technologies, GC2, GC3
- can gather and interpret relevant data within Geophysics to inform judgements that include reflection on relevant social, scientific, or ethical issues, including being aware of the diversity of international perspectives associated with Geophysics , and how these impact upon the practice of the field, GC4, GC5
- display a high standard of professional behaviour, including effective time management, both independently and as a team member, GC6
