After successful completion of the course, students are able to process and invert electrical, transient electromagnetic and seismic tomographic data using to-date algorithms. The processing and inversion is done with open-source libraries to permit the development of tools that they can use in their professional career.
Processing of real data from diverse geophysical methods: Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), Induced Polarization (IP) imaging, Transient Electromagnetic (TEM), and Seismic Refraction Tomography (SRT),
A field survey is planned on October 7th of 2022 at the Hengstberg (Niederösterreich, close to Loosdorf) for the collection of data to be discussed in the lecture (attendance is optional)
A computer is required with following requirements:
Python 3.5.x, 3.6.x
Windows 7,8, 10 or Linux - (both cases with 64 bits)
The students should work in small teams (2-3 students each), where they process the data. At the end of the lecture the students present their results and interpretation. Following the lecture, the audience (given by the classmates and members of the Geophysics Research Division) pose questions, which the presenters should answer using their own analyses and materials available from the theoretical lecture. The evaluation is based on the presentation of the students and the ability to answer the questions from the audience.
