Course Objective

The main subject of this course covers aspects of applied geophysics and applied geosciences. Its idea is a comprehensive and concise systematic presentation of the physical properties of rocks. The course will present fundemental results of experimental investigations and some main directions of a theoretical basis. The interpretation of geophysical data in exploration geophysics, well logging, engineering, mining and environmental geophysics needs the knowledge of the rock properties and their correlation.
