This lecture offers a detailed description on the design and interpretation of geophysical surveys for near sub-surface exploration. In particular environmental and hydrogeological applications of geophysical methods will be presented. Interdisciplinary interpretation of geophysical results will be addressed, taking into considerations the emerging field of Biogeophysics.

Petrophysical models linking the magnetic, electrical and electromagnetic response to soil, rock and water properties.

Design of magnetic, electric and electromagnetic survey for near-surface exploration, as well as the state-of-the-art data-processing techniques.

Interpretation of near-surface geophysical measurements in a multidisciplinary context.

Design of geophysical monitoring tools for environmental and engineering applications.

to avoid overlappings with the lecture "Geometrische Algorithmen für ein GIS", the lecture "Geophysical exploration with non-seismic methods" will be shifted to Fridays (from 10:00 to 12:00, Sem. room 125), also to be consistent with the information provided by the Fachschaft Vermessung und Geoinformation.
